Amunì Agri-Food Festival

Amunì, the taste of Sicily meeting the world

Every late summer, the town of Torrenova, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea at the foot of the Nebrodi mountains in the province of Messina, transforms into the capital of Sicilian agri-food with the Amunì Agri-Food Festival. The name itself, in the Sicilian dialect, is an invitation: "Amunì" means "let's go" or "come on," reflecting the spirit with which this Nebrodi town opens its squares to producers, buyers, and thousands of visitors.

An international showcase for 'Made in Sicily'

At the heart of the event is the exhibition fair dedicated exclusively to Sicilian companies: wineries, distilleries, breweries, dairies, preserves, seafood products, sweets, and extra virgin olive oil all showcase the island's extraordinary gastronomic wealth. Alongside the stands, the festival hosts B2B meetings that connect local producers with buyers from strategic markets such as South Korea, Brazil, Singapore, Germany, Australia, Spain, and the United Kingdom, offering small local businesses a concrete opportunity for growth and export.

Tastings, conferences, and culture

The days come alive with guided tastings, conferences on the agri-food supply chain and sustainability, as well as cabaret, theater, and sports initiatives. The presence of the Italian Sommelier Association and the event's inclusion in the European Region of Gastronomy circuit have consolidated the festival's quality profile over the years, with the main evening alone already attracting around twenty thousand people.

Major concerts in Piazza Mare

What makes Amunì a favorite among younger audiences are the free concerts in Piazza Mare, featuring nationally renowned artists who have animated past editions, from Rocco Hunt to Fedez, and from Arisa to Baby K and Mr. Rain. Music, taste, and entertainment blend into a festive atmosphere that embraces families, young people, and tourists alike.

An event for the whole community

Organized by the Municipality of Torrenova together with the Pro Loco, the youth municipal council, and local associations, Amunì is much more than a fair: it is the identity-driven celebration of a community that makes its land and products the engine of a booming food and wine tourism sector along the Nebrodi coast.
