100 Masserie Festival

100 Masserie Festival 2025

The fourth edition of the 100 Masserie Festival was held in Crispiano (Taranto, Puglia) from October 18 to 26, 2025, with a program spread over several thematic weekends that intertwined authentic flavors, traditional arts, and the historical memory of the territory.

The opening, on Saturday, October 18, was dedicated to the Giallorosso tomato of Crispiano, a Slow Food Presidium, with a workshop at the Carlo Natale Civic Library. The event then moved to Borgo San Simone for the Giallorosso Tomato Festival, organized by the Pro Loco, with the opening of Farmers' Markets and tastings of typical products.

The final weekend of October 25-26 brought the masserie and ancient crafts back to the center stage: on Saturday, October 25, the "Breakfast in the Masseria" at Masseria Vallenza, the "Threads that Tell Stories" workshop dedicated to the art of crochet, and screenings. The event was organized by the Municipality of Crispiano with the support of Puglia Culture, GAL Magna Grecia, BTM, Città dell'Olio, and Banca di Credito Cooperativo di Locorotondo. Admission was free.
