Terruggia
Terruggia is a municipality of the Monferrato, in the Province of Alessandria. It is home to the Teatro Le Muse, an early-20th-century building that remained closed for six years until its reopening on 26 November 2026.[1]
The Teatro Le Muse
The Teatro Le Muse is described as a «gem of the early twentieth century». The reopening evening, set for Thursday 26 November 2026 at 9 p.m., was entrusted to musician Mauro Pagani, the headline act of the autumn leg of the Monferr'Autore Festival.[1]
The 2026 event
Pagani, in conversation with the festival's artistic director Enrico De Regibus, presented in Terruggia his new album «Tutto è già qui», released 23 years after his previous recording and coinciding with the musician's eightieth birthday. The artist, who is from Lombardy, had been presenting the album almost exclusively in major cities, but chose to make a stop in Terruggia for the Monferr'Autore Festival, of which he had already been a guest before.[1] During the evening Pagani looked back over his artistic career, from his time with PFM to his collaboration with Fabrizio De André, through to film scores and his musical direction of the Sanremo Festival.[1]
The Monferr'Autore Festival
The Terruggia stop was part of the 2026 programme of the Monferr'Autore Festival, a Piedmontese music and culture event conceived and directed by Enrico De Regibus and organised by Accademia Monferrato. The festival, running since April 2026, has reached sixteen municipalities in the Province of Alessandria, showcasing the Monferrato area, a UNESCO site.[1] Guests of the 2026 season include Ron, Riccardo Rossi, Violante Placido, Paolo Migone, Cisco, Davide Van de Sfroos, Wanda Osiris and Boosta.[1]
