A 30-year-old Roman singer, raised in the city's clubs, with a father who is one of the most important drummers in Italian jazz and a path all her own between jazz, soul and songs in Italian. Beatrice Gatto's concert is a late Sunday afternoon in a small hall, with a five-piece band and a repertoire that looks to original writing. It's the kind of event young artists' series exist to protect: an artist at the moment when the sound is already recognizable and the audience isn't yet the one of big numbers.

Beatrice Gatto at Casa del Jazz: the November 29 concert

Beatrice Gatto's concert is scheduled for Sunday, November 29, 2026, at 18:00 in the Sala Armando Trovajoli of Casa del Jazz, in the Young Lions series.

Young Lions

Young Lions is the expression jazz has used for decades for the new generations stepping onto the scene with a language of their own. Casa del Jazz uses it for its series devoted to emerging musicians, with a lower single ticket price than the other series. This autumn the same series has hosted, among others, the trio of saxophonist Matteo Fagioli.

A Sunday time slot

The 18:00 start is a deliberate choice. You leave home while it's light, listen to music as evening falls outside, and get back for dinner. If you have older kids or elderly parents, or simply Monday morning to face, it's the most civilized time of the Roman music week.

What you'll hear

The setlist isn't published. Casa del Jazz's presentation does, though, describe precisely the direction of Beatrice Gatto's work: jazz, soul and Italian pop, with particular attention to writing in Italian and to a personal language that's hard to label. It's reasonable to expect songs from her original repertoire alongside standards and pieces from the Brazilian tradition, which the singer has always explored.

Who Beatrice Gatto is: the biography

Beatrice Gatto is a Roman singer born in 1996, a graduate of Saint Louis College of Music in Rome and trained in the capital's jazz scene, where she performed in the main clubs before taking her voice to Italian festivals.

A family of musicians

She grew up in a home where music was part of daily life: her father is Roberto Gatto, a Roman drummer who is among the best-known and most awarded in Italian jazz. It's not just a biographical detail, but it's not a shortcut either. Growing up next to a musician of that level, you learn early how much work goes into a concert, and how hard it is to find a sound that isn't an echo of your father's.

Training

The diploma from Saint Louis College of Music, a Roman school of modern music, is the technical base. The real school, though, was the clubs. Beatrice Gatto sang in the city's historic venues, from Alexanderplatz to Big Mama, from Fonclea to Alcazar: small stages, an audience up close, long repertoires, the apprenticeship that forms a jazz singer. She also teaches singing, which explains the care she puts into phrasing.

An eclectic style

Casa del Jazz presents her as a voice rooted in jazz but with an eclectic style, exploring soul, pop and the Italian and Brazilian traditions. It's a definition echoed in the reviews of her first record, which speak of a cross between jazz, pop and neo soul with an international flavor.

Collaborations

Along the way she has worked with Fabrizio Bosso, Danilo Rea, Serena Brancale and Rosario Giuliani: a trumpeter, a pianist, a singer and a saxophonist who represent well the different souls of today's Italian scene, from more classic jazz to crossover with soul and song.

The original project

In 2021 she launched her original music project with the single Non mi importa. On May 3, 2024, her debut EP Frammenti came out on T-Recs Music, produced by Alessandro Casagni, accompanied by the single Universo, produced by Casagni himself with Benjamin Ventura. It's a short, compact work that lines up her influences without turning them into quotations.

With her father and with the Reas

Beatrice Gatto has worked with her father on the project My Secret Place and is one of the solo voices of Generations, the project that brings together two families of Roman jazz: on one side Roberto Gatto, on the other Danilo Rea, with his daughter Oona Rea. Roberto Gatto and Danilo Rea have played together since 1975, when they founded the Trio di Roma: 50 years later, their children sing on the same stage.

Studies abroad

Lately the singer has continued her music studies in Austria, as she herself announced to her listeners, coming back to Rome for concerts. November 29 is therefore also a homecoming, in the city where she started.

Frammenti and Non mi importa: Beatrice Gatto's music

Beatrice Gatto's discography includes the single Non mi importa, from 2021, and the EP Frammenti, released on May 3, 2024, by T-Recs Music, produced by Alessandro Casagni.

Writing in Italian

The most interesting choice is the language. Many young Italian jazz singers write in English, to chase the American repertoire or an international market. Beatrice Gatto writes mainly in Italian, and the Casa del Jazz presentation insists precisely on this point. It's a harder road, because Italian has stresses and vowels that don't bend easily to swing, but it's also the one that makes a songwriter recognizable.

The sound

The presentation notes for Frammenti speak of a work mixing different musical worlds, from jazz to pop to neo soul, with a fresh, personal sound. Live, with a band including keyboards, guitar and electric bass, you can expect a warmer, freer rendering than on the record, with room for improvisation.

The musicians on stage with Beatrice Gatto

Playing with Beatrice Gatto are Federico Buccini on piano and keyboards, Lorenzo Reggio on guitar, Guglielmo Molino on bass and Simone Lanzillotti on drums.

A soul band

The lineup says a lot about the concert. Not a classic jazz trio with double bass, but a lineup with keyboards, guitar and bass: the sound of a soul and pop band, which can however switch back to the language of jazz in an instant. It's the right lineup for a repertoire that moves between genres.

The drums, in the Gatto household

An inevitable curiosity: in a family of drummers, someone else sits at the drums. Simone Lanzillotti has the job of keeping time for the daughter of one of Italy's greatest drummers, in a hall where her father played three nights in a row just a month before. I don't envy him, and at the same time I envy him a lot.

Tickets for Beatrice Gatto at Casa del Jazz

The ticket for Beatrice Gatto at Casa del Jazz is a single price, 15 euros, bought on the presale circuit authorized by the organizers, reachable from the purchase button on the concert's official page.

At the box office

Casa del Jazz has a box office in the villa, open on show days. Hours and conditions are in the rules published on the venue's website. In a hall of just over 100 seats, though, a Sunday afternoon concert can sell out: the advice is to buy in advance.

Discounts

The discounts for people with disabilities provided by Fondazione Musica per Roma are obtained at the central box office of the Auditorium, so they have to be arranged before the day of the concert.

Casa del Jazz, where Beatrice Gatto sings

Casa del Jazz is at Viale di Porta Ardeatina 55, between the Aventine and Via Cristoforo Colombo, and is run by Fondazione Musica per Roma, the same as Auditorium Parco della Musica. For the full history, see our page on Casa del Jazz.

A confiscated villa

Casa del Jazz was born from the confiscation of the villa of Enrico Nicoletti, a member of the Banda della Magliana, which was then assigned to the City of Rome. The project to turn it into a center devoted to jazz was wanted by mayor Walter Veltroni. At the entrance, a plaque with the names of mafia victims, made with Libera, Don Luigi Ciotti's association, recalls what it means to give back to the city an asset taken from crime.

What it's like

The villa, known as Villa Osio, covers 2,500 square meters and is surrounded by a park of more than 25,000 square meters, open every day from dawn to dusk. Three buildings: in the main one the concert hall, with a recording system that makes it possible to turn concerts into records. In the second, rehearsal rooms, recording studios and guest quarters for musicians. In the third a restaurant.

The Sala Armando Trovajoli

The hall is named after Armando Trovajoli, a Roman pianist and composer, author of musical comedies and film scores. The venue's pages give slightly different capacities, between 134 and about 150 seats. Either way, a few rows and the band within eyeshot: the ideal size for a voice that works on nuance.

A curious fact about Beatrice Gatto at Casa del Jazz, November 29, 2026

The curious fact is almost a family novel. Exactly a month before Beatrice's concert, from October 30 to November 1, 2026, in the same Sala Trovajoli of Casa del Jazz, her father, Roberto Gatto, plays three nights in a row with three different lineups: the Luna Quartet with Danilo Rea, the Quartetto Organico with Alessandro Lanzoni's Hammond organ, the duo with Antonello Salis. On November 29, on the same stage, his daughter steps up, with a band and a repertoire looking in a completely different direction.

There's a second thread. In the Luna Quartet, on October 30, Danilo Rea played, who founded the Trio di Roma with Roberto Gatto in 1975. Oona Rea, Danilo's daughter, sings with Beatrice in the Generations project. In the same hall, a month apart, two generations of two Roman jazz families thus pass through: the fathers on stage in October, one of the daughters in November.

And a third, less novelistic: it's not Beatrice Gatto's first time at Casa del Jazz. In April 2025 she had already given a concert at the villa, presented by the venue as that of an artist who had managed to turn her father's influences into a personal and contemporary language. Her return, a year and a half later, in a series devoted to young artists, is a sign that the venue is following her closely.

Something nobody tells you about Beatrice Gatto at Casa del Jazz, November 29, 2026

What nobody tells you is that the surname, for a singer like Beatrice Gatto, is both an advantage and an obstacle. It opens doors, of course: the Roman jazz audience has known Roberto Gatto for 50 years and looks at his daughter with curiosity. But it also creates the wrong expectations. Anyone going to the concert expecting traditional jazz, with standards and swing, may be surprised. Beatrice's project goes elsewhere: songs in Italian, soul, pop, keyboards and electric bass. It's a language with roots in jazz that doesn't wave it as a flag.

The second thing concerns the hall. The Sala Trovajoli is small, and for a concert with electric bass, keyboards and drums position matters. The front rows give direct contact with the singer's voice and expression. The central rows offer the best balance between voice and band. If you can choose, take the center.

The third is logistical, and anything but secondary. On Sunday, November 29, at 20:00, ANOHNI sings at Auditorium Parco della Musica, her only Italian date, and it's run by the same Fondazione Musica per Roma. Someone will think of doing both. I advise against it: the two venues are at opposite ends of the city, and a concert starting at 18:00 hardly leaves time to cross Rome before 20:00. Choose, and enjoy your choice.

My advice for seeing Beatrice Gatto at Casa del Jazz, November 29, 2026

It's best to make the concert the centerpiece of a Sunday afternoon, not an isolated appointment. Get to the villa around 16:00, when the Casa del Jazz park is still open and the late November light is low and golden: in Rome, in those days, the sun sets a little before five. A walk under the trees, a turn around the villa, a read of the plaque at the entrance, and then inside, into the hall, at leisure.

Even before that, if you have time, a stop at the Baths of Caracalla, a few minutes' walk away, or along the Aurelian Walls, which the avenue follows for its whole length. It's one of the few corners of Rome where in a kilometer you go from the imperial city to the city of crime news, all the way to the city of music.

Second piece of advice: listen to Frammenti before you go. It's only a few songs, 20 minutes on the metro is enough. Arriving in the hall already knowing Universo or Non mi importa changes the listening: you recognize the material, you catch the difference between the record and the live version, you appreciate the band's work.

Third piece of advice: after the concert, dinner in Testaccio. It's a quarter of an hour on foot, on Sunday evening it's the Roman neighborhood of trattorias par excellence, and it rounds off a day spent entirely inside the city.

How to get to Casa del Jazz for Beatrice Gatto

From the center, Casa del Jazz can be reached on metro B to Piramide and then on foot, or by bus on the 714. If you come by car there's a parking lot next to the villa.

By metro

The venue indicates metro B, Piramide stop. From the station to the villa it's just under a kilometer, a good quarter of an hour on foot past the Pyramid of Cestius. For the 18:00 concert it's best to come out of the metro around 17:30.

By bus

Bus 714 stops at Colombo/Marco Polo, a few minutes from the entrance, and connects the area with Termini and EUR. On Sundays the frequencies are on the holiday schedule: check the times before going out.

By car

There's a parking lot next to the villa, on Via Cristoforo Colombo at the corner of Viale di Porta Ardeatina. On Sunday afternoon traffic is lighter than on weekdays, and the car is a reasonable option.

Getting back

The length of the concert isn't published. An 18:00 concert ends at a convenient time anyway for getting back on public transportation, even with holiday schedules.

Another well-known fact, yet rarely mentioned

Everyone knows Roberto Gatto is one of the great drummers of Italian jazz. It's less often remembered how much Italian music, outside jazz, carries his rhythmic signature: he's on drums on Mina's Caterpillar, from 1991, on Ivano Fossati's La disciplina della Terra, from 2000, and he has worked with Lucio Dalla, Pino Daniele, Ornella Vanoni, Gino Paoli, Riccardo Cocciante. The Roman jazz of his generation, with Danilo Rea and Enzo Pietropaoli, his partners in the Trio di Roma, gave Italian singer-songwriter music an instrumental quality it didn't have before.

It's a fact that helps you understand his daughter. Beatrice Gatto doesn't come from a family of jazz purists, but from a home where jazz and Italian song have always lived side by side. Her choice to write in Italian, to mix jazz, soul and pop, to work with a singer like Serena Brancale, isn't a betrayal of her father's legacy. It is, on the contrary, its most consistent continuation.

A second rarely mentioned fact concerns the hall. Armando Trovajoli, after whom it's named, was a Roman pianist, author of the music for Rugantino and many musical comedies and film scores: a musician who brought instrumental know-how into popular song. In 2001 Roberto Gatto devoted a whole album, Plays Rugantino, precisely to that music. For a singer like Beatrice Gatto it's hard to imagine a more fitting name on the door of the hall.

The right photo to take at Beatrice Gatto at Casa del Jazz, November 29, 2026

The right photo is taken outside, before the concert. At five in the afternoon at the end of November the sun sets behind the trees of the park, and the villa lights up. It's the moment when Casa del Jazz is at its most beautiful: the lit facade, the entrance drive, the tree trunks against the light. Shoot from the end of the drive, with the villa in the center and a few people going in: it's the portrait of the Sunday.

The second photo, less obvious, is the plaque with the names of mafia victims at the entrance. It's not a postcard image, but it's the one that explains the place. Posting it with two lines of explanation does a small service to those who'll see it, and recalls that jazz, in this villa, is also a form of civic redemption.

In the hall, during the concert, the phone goes in your pocket: the Sala Trovajoli is small and every lit screen can be seen. If you really want a memento, wait for the final applause, when the band stands and the singer says thank you. One photo, no flash, and then put the phone away. And if you want the family photo of Roman jazz, keep the one from a month earlier, if you were at one of her father's concerts: side by side, they tell a story worth keeping.

Some important events that happened here in history

The founding event of Casa del Jazz is the confiscation of the villa of Enrico Nicoletti, a member of the Banda della Magliana, and its assignment to the City of Rome. The project wanted by mayor Walter Veltroni turned it into a center devoted entirely to jazz, with a concert hall, recording studios and guest quarters for visiting musicians. The plaque at the entrance, made with Libera, fixes that transition in the memory of the place.

The villa has an older name, Villa Osio, and a park of more than 25,000 square meters. It's along Viale di Porta Ardeatina, which follows the line of the Aurelian Walls, built in the 3rd century AD: a few meters separate imperial Rome from the Rome of the 1980s court news, and from today's Rome of concerts.

In the villa's musical history, one event ties the place to the Gatto family. On April 7, 2008, Roberto Gatto gave a concert at Casa del Jazz devoted to progressive rock, the genre he had started out with as a boy. The recording was released on April 30 of the same year under the title Omaggio al progressive rock. Also in 2008 came Omaggio a De André by the Casa del Jazz All Stars, whose musicians include Gatto. It's proof of how well equipped this hall is to turn a concert into a record: an opportunity that for a young artist is worth a great deal.

Who has passed through Beatrice Gatto at Casa del Jazz, November 29, 2026

Over the years, the leading figures of the Italian scene and many foreign guests have passed through Casa del Jazz. Among the names linked to Beatrice Gatto, the first is her father's: Roberto Gatto has played and recorded at the villa several times, from the 2008 progressive rock concert to the three nights of autumn 2026, with Danilo Rea, Antonello Salis, Alessandro Lanzoni, Max Bottini, Simone Sansonetti, Francesco Fratini.

Then there are the musicians Beatrice has worked with, almost all regulars in this hall: Fabrizio Bosso on trumpet. Danilo Rea, a pianist who from the Trio di Roma onward has been through all of Italian music. Rosario Giuliani, a saxophonist whose students have included young Roman musicians like Matteo Fagioli. And Serena Brancale, another voice of the new Italian song.

This autumn 2026 Casa del Jazz has also hosted the series Una Striscia di Terra Feconda and, in November, the concerts of the Roma Jazz Festival. And in the same Young Lions series other young Roman musicians have passed through, like saxophonist Matteo Fagioli, Giuliani's student. On November 29 it's Beatrice Gatto's turn, with Federico Buccini, Lorenzo Reggio, Guglielmo Molino and Simone Lanzillotti: a new generation, in the same hall where their fathers' generation came of age.

Accessibility at Casa del Jazz

Casa del Jazz states that it was designed for full accessibility. Wheelchair users can book their place at 06 80241281.

Reserved places

Places for wheelchair users are few, and in a hall of about 150 seats even fewer: booking should be done in advance. Fondazione Musica per Roma provides discounts for people with disabilities and, where necessary, free entry for a companion. These concessions are obtained at the central box office of the Auditorium.

With young people

A Sunday concert at 18:00, with a repertoire between jazz, soul and pop in Italian, also suits young people getting into live music. For a teenager studying singing it's a rare chance to hear up close a young singer with solid training.

The neighborhood around Casa del Jazz

Casa del Jazz is in a border zone between ancient Rome and that of the 20th century, a few hundred meters from the Baths of Caracalla and along the line of the Aurelian Walls.

Caracalla and the walls

About 600 meters away are the Baths of Caracalla. The villa faces Viale di Porta Ardeatina, along the walls. A late November walk between the baths and the walls is the best way to arrive at the concert.

Piramide and Testaccio

About a kilometer away, on the way to the metro, is the Pyramid of Cestius, and just beyond begins Testaccio, the neighborhood of trattorias and the market.

Toward the Circus Maximus and the Appia

Beyond Viale Aventino lies the Circus Maximus. To the south begin the lands of the Appia, with the Caffarella Park, to be visited in daylight.

Where to eat before or after Beatrice Gatto

One of the three buildings of Casa del Jazz houses a restaurant, which takes care of dinner without moving. Nearby, toward Piramide, San Saba and Testaccio, there are trattorias and neighborhood places, frequented more by Romans than by visitors.

Before the concert

With the 18:00 start, beforehand you have at most a snack or a coffee: the Piramide area, on the way between the metro and the villa, is the most convenient.

After the concert

Dinner comes after, and Testaccio, a few minutes away, is the most natural choice: on Sunday evening many of the neighborhood's trattorias are open, but with groups it's best to book. The Testaccio district also has its own history to read as you walk, between the Mattatoio and Monte dei Cocci.

Late November in Rome: a Sunday of music

On November 29 Rome is in full autumn: sunset a little before five, mild temperatures by day and cool in the evening, fewer tourists and more cultural life. It's a full Sunday: in the evening, at Auditorium Parco della Musica, ANOHNI sings. In the city's clubs jazz continues all week, starting with Alexanderplatz, where Beatrice Gatto sang during her formative years. If you're coming from out of town, a weekend built around music is the best way to see Rome in a quieter season.
