The Italia Wave Love Festival is an annual music festival held in Italy. The first edition in 2007 was held from the 17th to the 22nd of July in Florence and Sesto Fiorentino, and the 2008, 2009 and 2010 editions in Livorno. In 2011 it is set to be held in Lecce.

It mainly presents rock music, although as in recent years it will also feature important artists of other styles. Continuing the tradition of Arezzo Wave, entry to the festival will be free, although after 21:00 hours a €10 ticket will be required. The festival will continue to host both upcoming bands and internationally famous ones, and a large number of non-musical cultural events.
