The sports facilities around the Stadio Olimpico football stadium provide a huge festival site during the summer months, with outdoor concerts, cinema, discos, kiddies' play areas, restaurants and bars. It's one of the few venues that manages to get the big international names to play in Rome in summer, although sloppy organization has meant that in the past concerts have been cancelled at the last minute, or gone ahead with only a handful of spectators. You have been warned. Admission depends on event. This eclectic performing-arts festival now ranks as one of the top international events of its kind.
