In 2025, Beats of Pompeii embraces this legacy and renews it: every concert becomes a meeting point between past and present, between ancient stones and the vibrations of contemporary music.

Music and Archaeology: A Combination that Transforms the Cultural Experience

As emphasized by the promoters, the presence of music within the ancient walls of Pompeii is not a mere “addition” but an integral part of the strategy for enhancement and protection of the heritage. Every concert transforms the visit to the excavations into a multisensory experience, offering new perspectives and deep emotional involvement.

The words of the Park Director, Gabriel Zuchtriegel, express this spirit:
“Cultural heritage is also intangible, capable of transforming our experience of the world. Bringing music to Pompeii is an integral part of our protection and enjoyment project, a model for many other cultural sites.”

Similarly, the Mayor of Pompeii, Carmine Lo Sapio, highlights the importance of the dialogue between music and archaeology, and the ability of artists to move and engage an increasingly international audience. An opportunity to discover Pompeii in a new light, between art, history, and sounds.
