Celebrating Freedom with Andrea & Veronica Bocelli
A Weekend in Tuscany: July 25-27, 2026
Welcome to an unforgettable weekend in Tuscany.
Jolene Smith and Dr. Ronald J. Clark warmly invite you to a weekend with Maestro Andrea Bocelli and Veronica Berti Bocelli, where world-class artistry meets world-changing impact, in support of the Andrea Bocelli Foundation and the Eradicate Slavery Alliance.
You will be among a select group of cherished friends and colleagues, united in our inspiration by the virtuosity of Maestro Andrea and the resilience of the human spirit—while honoring the countless lives transformed through these organizations.
Saturday, July 25 — Dinner and Concert at the Teatro del Silenzio
The weekend opens in Lajatico, the small hilltop village where Andrea was born and raised. Once a year, the surrounding hills give way to the Teatro del Silenzio — a natural amphitheater that lies silent all year except for this single night, when Andrea returns home to perform on the stage carved into the hillside.
As the sun sets over the Tuscan countryside, we will gather for a private dinner on the terrace overlooking the theater, savoring fine wine and exquisite cuisine. From there, we descend into the amphitheater itself to our reserved seats for an unforgettable evening of music beneath the stars — one of the most celebrated concerts in the world, performed by Andrea in the valley where his story began.
Dress code: Elegant summer attire.
Sunday, July 26 — Beach Party at Forte dei Marmi
The weekend moves to the coast, to Forte dei Marmi — the elegant seaside town on the Tuscan Riviera that has long been a summer gathering place for artists, writers, and the Bocelli family themselves.
At Andrea and Veronica’s beach club, the evening begins with a sunset aperitif on the sand and unfolds into a beach dinner woven through with music and relaxed conversation — an intimate, festive gathering in the company of the Bocelli family and friends.
Dress code: Beach cocktail on the sand.
Monday, July 27 — Star-Studded Gala Event at Andrea and Veronica’s Family Villa
The weekend culminates at Andrea and Veronica’s seaside home near Forte dei Marmi, as guests of the Bocelli family.
Dinner is served in the villa's gardens and gives way to music and entertainment as Maestro Bocelli is joined on stage by friends and fellow artists for performances that make this evening one of a kind. Guests fly in from around the world to join this annual event. This year’s theme: “A Night to Shine.”
Dress code: Evening attire, with glamour and sparkle.
The Eradicate Slavery Alliance is delighted to celebrate with our friends and colleagues, Andrea and Veronica, and the Andrea Bocelli Foundation team as they mark 15 years of empowering vulnerable communities through education. Education and freedom are inseparable. Join us in supporting both — and in honoring the unifying power of music, friendship, and shared purpose.
