A sande Neccòule u Natoil 'nge voule

The fourth edition of A sande Neccòule u Natoil 'nge voule enlivened the San Nicola district of Gravina in Puglia on December 20 and 21, 2025, from 7 PM to midnight. The historic center was transformed, as the organizers' presentation states, into "a place suspended between tradition, light, and emotion."

Along the decorated alleys, there were performances by street artists and musicians, a string and choir concert by students of the "G. Tarantino" Musical High School in the Church of Saints Nicola and Cecilia (with guided tours inside), set-up nativity scenes, Santa's House, and inflatables for the little ones. There was no shortage of tastings of traditional Murgia dishes — arrosticini, gnumeridd, pettole, bruschetta, artisanal panettone, hot chocolate, and craft beer — offered by residents and neighborhood businesses. An edition confirmed by the Municipality of Gravina in Puglia and organized by the Sannicolini association with the involvement of schools and volunteers.
