About What a Mess in Naggio

In the small village of Naggio, between Lake Como and Lake Lugano, one winter evening the houses open their doors to host concerts, stories, food, and bonfires. 'A Naggio รจ sempre un Macello!' is an original and intimate festival, where music and tales are shared from house to house, warming the village in the heart of the cold season. Organized by the Friends of Naggio, it's an event that makes Grandola ed Uniti a gem to discover in winter.

A House-to-House Festival

A Naggio รจ sempre un Macello! is the unique winter festival that enlivens the hamlet of Naggio, in the municipality of Grandola ed Uniti (province of Como), one of the most picturesque villages between Lake Como and Lake Lugano. The idea is as simple as it is fascinating: on one evening of the cold season, the village houses open their doors to host concerts, stories, and moments of conviviality, transforming the entire village into a widespread stage.

Music, Stories, and Bonfires

Walking through the alleys, guests move from one house to another to listen to concerts, stories from old and new friends, and to warm themselves by the bonfires. Each home offers something different, with live music, storytelling, and good food, in an intimate and warm atmosphere that is the opposite of large, crowded festivals. It's the magic of a small mountain village that, for one evening, comes alive.

The Village of Naggio in Winter

Naggio is known as a winter gem, a village overlooking the landscape of the two lakes. The festival was born from the desire of its inhabitants, the Friends of Naggio, to liven up the village during the colder months and to share the beauty and hospitality of this corner of the Lario region with visitors.

An Event to Experience

More than a traditional festival, 'A Naggio รจ sempre un Macello!' is an experience made of music, human warmth, and discovery. For Grandola ed Uniti and the province of Como, it is one of the most original winter initiatives, capable of attracting the curious and enthusiasts seeking an authentic atmosphere.
