Edition 2025 — Calin di Maggio

On the night of April 30th, 2025, Marsaglia welcomed the arrival of May with the local choir and the group I Musetta. The singers renewed the traditional May Song quest, walking through the village streets from house to house, accompanied by the piffero, accordion, and müsa, in a night of songs and good wishes in the heart of the upper Trebbia Valley.

The 2025 May Song in Marsaglia

In 2025, Calin di Maggio once again animated Marsaglia, a hamlet of Corte Brugnatella, on the night between April 30th and May 1st. The local choir, joined by the group I Musetta, led the quest through the village streets, stopping in front of houses to sing polyphonic songs of good omen and collect eggs and offerings.

The traditional musical ensemble featured the characteristic pifferos and accordions of the Four Provinces region. The event confirmed the vitality of a tradition that, thanks to a cohesive social fabric, continues to be practiced by people of all ages, keeping alive the cultural identity of the Piacenza Apennines.

Highlights

The local choir with the group I Musetta; the nighttime house-to-house quest; piffero, accordion, and müsa along the streets of Marsaglia.
