Music, sport and cultural events fill the weekend calendar in San Marino, with happenings spread across Friday 13 to Sunday 15 November. The programme includes the closing of the Titanico Jazz Festival, the Italian Wheelchair Basketball Super Cup, concerts and sporting competitions, as well as exhibitions open in the historic centre.
Friday 13 November marks the close of the second edition of the Titanico Jazz Festival, organised through the collaboration between San Marino Welcome and Podere Lesignano, under the artistic direction of maestro Emanuele Rastelli.
It will be Rastelli himself, performing a solo accordion concert, who brings the festival to a close. The event takes place at 9pm at Podere Lesignano in Serravalle, with admission priced at 18 euros.
From 7pm to 9pm, visitors can take part in a pre-dinner aperitif by reservation, not included in the ticket price.
Sunday 15 November will be marked by a series of musical and sporting events.
At 4.30pm, at the Teatro Titano, the 28th Autumn Music Festival (Rassegna Musicale d’Autunno) continues with the Ars Ludi Quaranta concert, featuring performances by Antonio Gaggiano, Gianluca Ruggeri and Rodolfo Rossi. The festival includes eight concerts in total, running until 3 January 2027.
Admission costs 10 euros.
Also on Sunday, at 6pm at the Teatro Nuovo in Dogana, the thirteenth edition of the Concert for Life 2026 (Concerto per la Vita) will be held, a charity initiative promoted by the Rotary Club to support research into genetic neurodegenerative diseases. Jazz trumpeter Fabrizio Bosso will take centre stage, accompanied by the Jazz Inc Quartet and the Eos Quartet, with arrangements by Marco Capicchioni.
The evening, titled 100 Miles, will be presented by Patrizia Deitos and preceded by remarks from Professor Elena Cattaneo. Tickets cost 18 euros for the gallery and 25 euros for the stalls, plus booking fees.
There is also room for sport, with the 25th Italian Wheelchair Basketball Super Cup, scheduled for Sunday 15 November at 10.30am at the Multieventi Sport Domus in Serravalle.
Briantea84 Ets and Amicacci Abruzzo will compete for the trophy. The event is organised by the Martin Mancini Association, which has been promoting sport and social inclusion for young people with disabilities since 2010.
Admission is free.
At the same venue, starting at 9.30am, the tenth edition of the Titano Trophy for fin swimming will take place, organised by Domus San Marino Nuoto Pinnato.
The races will involve athletes in both beginner and competitive categories over distances of 50, 100, 200 and 400 metres. The Titanic Race, a knockout competition, is also on the programme.
The public will be able to watch for free from the stands.
The weekend also offers the chance to visit several exhibitions set up in San Marino’s historic centre. Sunday 15 November will be the final day of the Anima e Corpo (Soul and Body) exhibition, hosted at Palazzo SUMS as part of the Pink October 2026 initiatives.
The exhibition brings together works by 20 Sammarinese and Italian artists, exploring themes of female beauty, transformation and rebirth.
The aim is to raise awareness about breast cancer prevention, treatment and wellbeing. This year’s initiatives are dedicated to Mariella Mularoni, who supported prevention projects and the related art competition.
The exhibition is open from 9am to 5pm, with free admission.
Meanwhile, the exhibition Icone Sacre Pop (Pop Sacred Icons) by Simone Legno continues until 22 November at the exhibition space of the Secretariat of State for Tourism. Born out of the Expo Osaka 2025 experience and a collaboration between San Marino and the Dicastery for Evangelization, it presents works that reinterpret symbols of Christian tradition through contemporary shapes and colours.
The initiative forms part of the celebrations marking the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis of Assisi. The exhibition is open daily from 10am to 6pm, with free admission.
Finally, at the State Museum, the exhibition series I mai visti del Museo di Stato (The Never-Before-Seen) continues, showcasing paintings from the collection never previously shown to the public. The programme features new unveilings every two weeks, accompanied by guided tours with the curator.
The next appointment is set for Saturday 14 November at 5pm, with a free guided tour. Further tours are scheduled for 28 November and 12 December, while the exhibition series will run until 31 January.
The Tourism Office of the Republic of San Marino notes that dates, times and venues for events may be subject to change or cancellation, and invites the public to check for updates directly with the organisers.
