Why is Spoleto Festival USA in Charleston?
Spoleto’s founder, the acclaimed composer Gian Carlo Menotti, sought a fitting home for an American counterpart to the annual Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto, Italy. Captivated by Charleston’s charm, including the wealth of fitting performance venues, Menotti selected Charleston as the ideal location. You can visit Charleston for Spoleto May 25–June 11.
