Visit Rimini

The annual Percuotere la Mente – roughly translated as slap or strike the mind – music festival, held as part of the wider classical music festival the Sagra Musicale Malatestiana brings big names from the worlds of jazz, rock, pop and electronic music, both Italian and International to the atmospheric surroundings of the Corte degli Agostiniani.

The only real link between the artists, year by year, is a shared experimental and open approach to their art. Artists have included the likes of Baustelle, The Brad Mehldau Trio, Tereza Salgueiro , Avion Travel, and many more. The artists are usually announced towards the start of the summer, with the events taking place over June through to August.
