For the third year running, the Proloco of Novafeltria, the Graziani family, the Municipality of Novafeltria and the Consulta Giovani, have prepared one of the most eagerly awaited events in the Upper Marecchia Valley: Maledette Malelingue Festival.

The event was created to celebrate Ivan Graziani, the famous singer-songwriter and all-round artist who died in 1997 in this very town.

Music and art are the real protagonists of the Festival, which this year presents a novelty.
During the two days of the Festival, it will in fact be possible to meet the famous comic-strip artist Carmine di Giandomenico, an international author, known for his work with MARVEL, BONELLI, and DC Comics, as well as a full author with SALDAPRESS and IMAGE Comics.
An installation with one of his works dedicated to Ivan will be inaugurated in the Ivan Graziani Park. In addition, at the Oratorio di Santa Marina in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele in Novafeltria (from Saturday 6 July to Sunday 14 July), it will be possible to visit the exhibition with Di Giandomenico's works, covers, comic strips and illustrations tracing his artistic path, from 2005 to today.

The programme for the two days of the Festival includes educational workshops, book presentations including "Musica e Parole", the new work by Paolo Talanca, and lots of music along the Park, with Ultimo Binario, No Longer Player, Blu Amarissimo, Motel Cesare, Cristian Albani, Spring Rolls, Muni and Rickson.

There will also be food stands with zero km products and food trucks.
