Building Bridges is the main theme of the Stresa Festival in 2016.

These are the words of the Artistic Director Gianandrea Noseda: "Today as ever - or perhaps more than ever - try connecting elements between different cultures, traditions, religions is crucial. Building bridges instead of walls is the goal we must aim and music, with its language without borders, can help us achieve this purpose".
