Villa Arnò in Albinea, Italy, serves as the venue for the concert on July 27th, 2026. The villa dates back to the early 20th century and represents a significant example of Art Nouveau architecture in the Emilia-Romagna region. Originally commissioned by industrialist Francesco Arnaud, it was designed by architect Ugo Sironi between 1907 and 1913. The building showcases elaborate floral motifs, stained glass windows, and intricate ironwork characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement.

Following periods of private ownership, Villa Arnò underwent extensive restoration work in recent years to preserve its architectural integrity and historical value. It now functions as a cultural center hosting events including concerts, exhibitions and conferences.
