About this venue
Auditorium Horszowsky is not a conventional indoor hall, but an open-air amphitheatre shaped by the natural slope of Monforte d'Alba’s historic centre. The venue stands out for its stone setting, the nearby old bell tower and an intimate seating layout that makes it especially suitable for concerts, jazz programmes, theatre performances and summer cultural events. With a capacity of around 800 seated places, it creates a lively atmosphere while preserving a close connection between the stage and the audience.
The experience inside the venue is defined by the acoustics of the open-air amphitheatre and the natural scenery around it. Tiered seating helps provide a clear view of the stage, while the open sky and stone surfaces give events a refined yet understated character. Food, drink and additional services depend on the specific event, so it is useful to check the event details before arrival.
The venue is located at Via del Carretto, 16, Monforte d'Alba, Italy. Because it sits in the higher part of the town, access to the entrance usually involves a short walk through the narrow streets of the historic centre, while cars are generally left in marked parking areas in more accessible parts of the settlement.

About the city
Monforte d'Alba, a picturesque town in the heart of Italy's Langhe, is known as a refined destination for concerts, cultural events and special evenings surrounded by vineyards. Although smaller than major urban centers, the town has a strong identity as a place where music, gastronomy and the landscapes of Piedmont naturally complement one another. A particular highlight is the Horszowski Auditorium, a distinctive open-air venue that makes Monforte d'Alba an attractive choice for events with a more intimate, elegant and authentic atmosphere.
Getting to Monforte d'Alba is usually planned through the wider Piedmont network, using a combination of train, bus, taxi or private transfer. The nearest important railway points are Stazione di Alba and Stazione di Bra, while international arrivals often use Torino Airport, officially connected with the Torino Aeroporto di Caselle station, as well as Aeroporto di Cuneo Levaldigi. Local bus connections include routes through the Langhe area, with bus line 172 standing out, while organized transfers are also practical for reaching concert venues, squares and accommodation within the town itself. This combination of transport options makes it easy to connect with halls, open-air stages and nearby stadiums across the region.
Before or after an event, Monforte d'Alba offers plenty of reasons to stay longer. A walk through the narrow streets of the old center leads to panoramic viewpoints, stone facades and quiet squares that preserve the atmosphere of traditional Piedmont. Visitors can explore the historic core, enjoy views of the Barolo vineyards or stop at one of the local places for wine tasting and regional cuisine. It is precisely this blend of culture, music, scenery and gastronomy that makes Monforte d'Alba an excellent destination for anyone who wants to combine an event with an authentic experience of the Italian Langhe.
