Comfort Festival

Comfort Festival® focuses on the psychophysical well-being of the audience and the quality of music. The event was born in 2021 from a simple idea of the founder of Barley Arts, Claudio Trotta: to use a beautiful and natural location to allow the public to spend a relaxing day dedicated to good music.

“I am very grateful to the city of Ferrara, starting from the Mayor Alan Fabbri and the Councilor for Culture, Marco Gulinelli, who strongly wanted this “boutique” Festival project in their wonderful city. I am very happy with the artistic cast we have chosen after months of work and selection that were not always easy. Finally, I believe that the new location will be much appreciated by the audience and the artists.”

The Nuova Darsena of Ferrara, a recently redeveloped area, is a particularly evocative place where land and water meet. It is a truly unique location, in the heart of the city of Ferrara (a UNESCO heritage site) to attend events, spend the evening with frienda, and enjoy the sunset reflected in the water.

Ferrara is in fact a city whose history is inextricably linked with water: it was born and took shape between the primary branch of the Po and the Po di Volano, a tributary that still reaches the sea and flows into the Sacca di Goro. The Darsena di San Paolo constitutes a cycle-pedestrian stretch along the Po di Volano and is part of the Garden District.
