The Spanish Steps and Piano City Roma will meet in Rome on 3 October 2026, when Laura de los Ángeles is scheduled to perform flamenco at Piazza di Spagna. The staircase, known locally as the Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti, links the piazza with the Pincio hill.
The performance is part of a public music programme running across the Italian capital from 3 October to 4 October 2026.
Piano City Roma brings flamenco to the Spanish Steps on 3 October
The official programme lists Laura de los Ángeles at Piazza di Spagna on 3 October. It gives the performance an outdoor setting and identifies it as flamenco, placing the event directly beside the staircase rather than at a separate concert hall.
The festival organisers describe Piano City Roma as a city-wide programme with concerts, special performances and pianos in urban spaces. The festival page lists more than 100 pianos, 130 pianists and 93 locations, while the Rome authority confirms the two-day period and free admission. official Piano City programme Rome event listing
How Piano City Roma connects with the staircase
The performance location matters because Piazza di Spagna occupies the lower end of the Spanish Steps. The travertine staircase rises towards Trinità dei Monti and provides the architectural setting described in reports about the performance from the top of the steps.
Rome built the staircase between 1723 and 1726 to connect the Pincio with Piazza di Spagna. Architect Francesco De Sanctis designed the 11-ramp structure, with each ramp formed by 12 steps. The city authority records its inauguration during the 1725 Jubilee under Pope Benedict XIII. staircase history from Rome
A complete restoration took place in 1995, followed by a further project supported by Bulgari in 2015. The authority says that work returned the staircase to its original appearance and made it passable again on 22 September 2016. Piano City Roma therefore places a contemporary outdoor performance beside a structure whose present form reflects restoration work completed a decade ago.
