As part of Hit Week, the Festival of Italian Music Around the World, the Consul General met yesterday with a delegation of Italian companies and professionals working in the music industry, together with Giosafat Rigano, Director of the Italian Trade Agency (ITA) in Los Angeles.
The delegation shared very positive feedback on the meetings held with US music industry professionals, highlighting the strong interest in Italian music, creativity and talent, as well as promising opportunities for new connections and collaborations.
Now in its 20th edition, Hit Week is an international platform promoting Italian music and creativity around the world, combining performances, industry meetings and networking opportunities. The 2026 edition, organized by FIMI (Federation of the Italian Music Industry) and the Italian Trade Agency Office in Los Angeles, places a particular focus on creating new opportunities for the internationalization of Italian music.
The Los Angeles programme culminates tonight at the Italian Cultural Institute of Los Angeles, with a final networking event bringing together Italian and American music professionals, followed by a live performance by Italian artist La Niña.
