The Basilica of Superga (Basilica di Superga) in Turin hosts Zipoli 300 on 17 October 2026, a concert devoted to composer Domenico Zipoli. Andrea Banaudi will perform the programme on the F.lli Concone organ, linking a current music event with the hilltop church’s long musical and architectural history.
Zipoli 300 brings Domenico Zipoli to Superga on 17 October
The City of Turin’s official calendar lists Zipoli 300 from 3.30pm to 4.45pm on 17 October 2026. The venue is the Basilica of Superga, at strada della Basilica di Superga, 73, in Turin. The listing describes the programme as monographic, meaning that it is dedicated to the work of Domenico Zipoli.
Andrea Banaudi is named as the performer, and the instrument is identified as the F.lli Concone organ, dated 1789 in the event listing. Admission is free and no booking is required, according to the City of Turin event listing. The event’s afternoon timing places the music programme inside the basilica rather than presenting it as a separate city-centre concert.
The concert meets Juvarra’s Baroque basilica
The building was designed by Filippo Juvarra for Victor Amadeus II of Savoy. Its foundation stone was laid in 1717, and the sanctuary was inaugurated in 1731, fourteen years later, according to the basilica’s official history.
The music venue therefore combines a specific eighteenth-century instrument with a church created during the same period. The basilica stands on the Superga hill above Turin, at an altitude of 672 metres, and includes the tombs of members of the House of Savoy. Its circular church is topped by a 75-metre dome, while two 60-metre bell towers flank the facade. Those dimensions help explain why an organ recital at the site carries both an architectural and a musical setting.
