CIURMA! The festival of rascals and scallywags

CIURMA! 2025

The 2025 edition of CIURMA! The festival of rascals and scallywags was held on Sunday, May 25, 2025, in the historic center of Barbara (province of Ancona), starting at 9:00 AM. The village came alive with a day of readings, art, and cultural activities designed for children, teens, and families, organized by Spunk - the Laboratory of Cultural Contamination and Libreria Kamillo.

As is tradition, the festival offered a free and open-to-all program, with the opportunity to experience the entire day in the town amidst performances, moments of reading aloud, and workshops. The castle walls and the spaces of the historic center served as the backdrop for the event, confirming Barbara as a spring reference point for children's culture in the Marche hinterland.
