The historic town of Spoleto, nestled in the heart of Umbria, Italy, promises to become a pilgrimage site for Pink Floyd enthusiasts next month. Marking the 60th anniversary of the band, a special fan-led exhibition, LUNΔTICA – Pink Floyd Collectors Expo will run from 11 to 27 July 2025 at Palazzo Mauri, a historic building that houses the city’s main library.

The exhibition aims to take visitors on a visual and musical journey through the decades. On display will be rare posters, original vinyl records, concert flyers, signed memorabilia, audio tapes, photos and documents. Many of these items will be shown to the public for the first time.

The exhibition is being made possible thanks to The Lunatics, the group of Italian collectors and Pink Floyd experts who have been building their archive for decades. Their collection spans the entire history of the band - from its early days with Syd Barrett in 1965 to the later albums of the 1990s.

Visitors will be able to see some exceptional pieces, including over 30 original vintage concert posters, such as those produced for the band’s debut at the Roundhouse and Syd Barrett’s penultimate show, a red Japanese pressing of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, rare editions of The Wall from Israel, and obscure vinyl from countries such as Kenya, Indonesia, and Jamaica.

One of the highlights will be a special event on Saturday 12 July, when Pink Floyd historian Ian Priston will visit to discuss Pink Floyd – BBC Radio 1967–1971. Ian will deliver an illustrated talk based on the highly regarded book he co-authored and his subsequent research. Tickets for this talk can be booked online at ianpriston.eventbrite.it.

The exhibition will be spread across three floors. The ground floor will focus on the band’s early years and their rise to international fame, including albums like The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall. The first floor will highlight later works like The Final Cut, A Momentary Lapse of Reason, and The Division Bell. The top floor will feature a striking photo display with special lighting to bring the images to life.

Entry will be free, but booking in advance is advised. Reservations can be made at lunatica.eventbrite.it.
