On August 9, Romazzino, A Belmond Hotel provided the spectacular backdrop for an unforgettable BIG Art Festival evening, bringing together music, fashion, fine dining, international personalities and some of the summer’s most distinguished guests in Porto Cervo.
The atmosphere was exceptional. Among those attending were Domenico Dolce, Sylvie Meis, Tara and Jessica Getty, and Caroline Scheufele, alongside numerous celebrities and international tastemakers who came together for one of the season’s most eagerly awaited events.
With its distinctive blend of Sardinian charm and refined elegance, Romazzino played a central role in the evening. Surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Costa Smeralda, the hotel combined magnificent scenery, outstanding cuisine and sophisticated hospitality. It became an integral part of the BIG Art Festival experience, making the celebration memorable from the moment the first guests arrived.
From the sunset welcome and elegant cocktail reception to dinner and the carefully curated entertainment programme, every detail was managed by the BIG Art Festival team with warmth, precision and genuine attention to its guests.
The programme also showcased several of the festival’s most prestigious partners. Chopard and Caroline’s Couture presented two spectacular high-jewellery and fashion shows, creating one of the evening’s most striking visual moments. The collaboration once again highlighted the remarkable connection between jewellery, fashion and the world of BIG Art Festival.
DENZA, BYD Group’s premium mobility brand, was another key partner of the event. After beginning in Hong Kong in spring 2026, the collaboration continued successfully in Porto Cervo. Represented by Alessandro Grosso, Italy Country Manager for BYD and DENZA, the partnership marked an exciting new stage, reflecting a shared commitment to innovation, design and contemporary experiences.
The evening was further enhanced by an outstanding gastronomic selection, featuring premium black caviar from Adoria Caviar, D.Rock Champagne, La Scolca wines and a special selection of Il Palagio wines presented by Tony Sasa.
Adoria Caviar’s signature Beluga, Asetra and Imperial varieties received enthusiastic praise from guests for their superb quality, delicate flavours and timeless refinement.
A dedicated D.Rock champagne bar was created especially for the occasion, allowing guests to enjoy perfectly chilled champagne and adding another memorable element to the celebratory atmosphere of the BIG Art Festival.
Hosted by Eleonora Incardona, who dazzled in Chopard jewellery, the evening embodied the contemporary spirit of Porto Cervo: cosmopolitan, vibrant, elegant and full of energy.
The musical programme accompanied guests throughout the night. It began with the sophisticated sound of Max Merseny before moving into the irresistible energy of the Esteriore Brothers, whose unmistakable Italian spirit soon had the entire audience dancing.
Then came the moment everyone had been waiting for.
Robbie Williams took to the stage for a performance lasting more than 80 minutes. He opened with “Let Me Entertain You”, immediately setting the mood for an electrifying show.
Performing some of his greatest and most recognisable hits, including “Feel” and “Angels”, Williams transformed the evening into a spectacular celebration. Guests sang along and danced beneath the Mediterranean sky, reluctant to let the night come to an end. The connection between Robbie and the audience was extraordinary, creating a truly unforgettable BIG Art Festival moment.
“It is still difficult to put last night into words. The energy, the emotion and the atmosphere at BIG ART Festival at Romazzino were truly extraordinary. We have had the privilege of working with Robbie Williams many times, but this evening felt particularly special — pure magic from beginning to end.
The connection between Robbie and the audience was incredible. Together with the beauty of Romazzino, our wonderful guests, the music and that unmistakable Porto Cervo atmosphere, everything came together perfectly. It was one of those rare evenings that cannot be fully captured in photographs or videos — you simply had to be there to feel it.
For us, this is what BIG ART Festival is about: bringing extraordinary people together and creating unforgettable experiences.”
— Maxim Berin, CEO of Berin Iglesias Art and Founder of BIG Art Festival
Porto Cervo once again proved to be the ideal destination for the BIG Art Festival: a place where exceptional artists, personalities and international brands come together to create experiences that continue to resonate long after the final applause.
And the next chapter is already approaching.
On October 10, BIG Art Festival will make its highly anticipated Singapore debut during the electric atmosphere of the Formula 1 weekend. The event will introduce the festival’s distinctive identity to one of Asia’s most dynamic cultural and lifestyle destinations.
The evening will be held at the iconic Capitol Kempinski Singapore, with global hip-hop and entertainment star Busta Rhymes taking the stage as the headline performer.
The Singapore debut represents an important new milestone for BIG Art Festival, bringing its celebrated format to a new market and continuing its international journey of creating unforgettable cultural experiences in some of the world’s most influential destinations.
