Celebrating Bergamasque dialect theatre



Dialect theatre is an important part of Bergamo's cultural identity. Through humour, everyday stories and memorable characters, it preserves traditions and offers audiences a direct connection with local heritage.
For generations, dialect theatre has brought communities together, creating opportunities for entertainment, reflection and cultural exchange.
As part of the Ducato di Piazza Pontida summer season, this performance celebrates a living tradition that continues to engage audiences of all ages.

The theatre company

The Carlo Bonfanti Theatre Company of Treviglio is one of the most respected dialect theatre groups in the Bergamo area.
Its productions combine artistic quality, respect for tradition and a strong connection with local culture, offering performances that remain accessible and enjoyable for a wide audience.
With Vinsanto, the company brings to ChorusLife an authentic theatrical experience rooted in the finest traditions of Bergamasque dialect theatre.

An evening dedicated to local traditions

The inclusion of dialect theatre within the Ducato di Piazza Pontida programme reflects the commitment to preserving and promoting Bergamo's cultural heritage.
Through performances such as Vinsanto, audiences have the opportunity to reconnect with local traditions while enjoying an evening of culture, entertainment and community spirit.
