Per Chi Crea – Live e promozione nazionale e internazionale

This strand of Italy's "Per Chi Crea" programme (SIAE and the Ministry of Culture) funds getting work in front of audiences — tours, festival and showcase circuits, and international promotion including translation — rather than paying for the work itself. Music is one of six eligible sectors, alongside visual art, film, dance, literature and theatre, and the creator behind the project must be under 35, resident in Italy or an Italian citizen based abroad.

You apply as an organisation or individual putting the touring or promotional plan together on the artist's behalf, not as the performer directly. The call doesn't state a flat grant amount; funding covers a share of the costs in your proposed budget, with the exact share and ceiling set by the rules in the full bando rather than the summary page.

Applications run from 14 September to 14:00 on 29 October 2026, submitted through bandiperchicrea.it with the mandatory documentation listed in Article 7 of the call. Every submission is checked administratively first, then assessed on merit by an independent panel of outside experts, following criteria set out in Articles 8 and 9 — worth reading closely if international promotion specifically is the point of your application. Results are due by 1 March 2027.
