Since 2003 the three most renowned piano competitions dedicated to Liszt.

Every 3 years they organize a tour of their winners throughout Europe: the European Liszt Night Tour (ELNT).

The international venues where the concerts take place are characterized by a special link with the life and / or work of the composer Franz Liszt. In 2018 the ELNT will make for the first time a stop in Italy, on Lake Como, vis-à -vis in Bellagio, where Liszt together with her lover, the Countess Marie d’Agoult, had spent a few months in 1837. At that time he devoted himself to the reading of the Divine Comedy, a source of inspiration for his homonymous symphonic poem and finally in December ’37 the daughter Cosima Francesca Gaetana (later wife of Richard Wagner) was born on Lake Como.

The three recital pianists in the ELNT at Villa Vigoni are:

Alexander Ullmann, Great Britain (1st prize, Utrecht 2017 1st prize, Budapest 2011)
