Corleone Free and Productive

An event that tells the story of the new Corleone

Corleone Free and Productive is the festival that promotes the productive, economic, cultural, agricultural, and tourist excellence of Corleone, a charming Sicani village in the Province of Palermo, in the heart of inland Sicily. Launched in 2025, the event offers a narrative of the territory that intertwines work, the quality of local products, and the values of legality and sustainable development, presenting the image of a community that expresses itself through its own resources.

The event venues

The heart of the event beats between the Villa Comunale and Piazza Falcone e Borsellino, two symbolic spaces in the town of Corleone. Exhibition stands welcome local agricultural, wine, and dairy companies, while the village opens its streets to itineraries discovering the natural landscape, monuments, and churches that testify to the strong devotion to San Leoluca, the city's patron saint, San Bernardo da Corleone, and Santa Rosalia.

The flavors of the Corleone territory

The absolute protagonists are local products, ranging from beekeeping to livestock, from cheeses to cereals, and from ancient grains to extra virgin olive oil. Among the most representative excellences are saffron, the Corleone curly tomato, red pumpkin, and local fruits such as pears, plums, and cherries. There is no shortage of niche products like tuma cheese and local siccagno tomato sauce.

Show cooking and discussion forums

• Show cooking in Piazza Falcone e Borsellino, with local operators preparing baked goods made with ancient grains and local specialties.
• Tastings and samplings of Corleone agri-food products.
• Conferences on themes of legality, economic development, and territory enhancement, involving administrators, producers, and guests.
• Guided tours through the nature, monuments, and spiritual sites of the village.

Legality and development

The event is the result of collaboration between the Sicilian Region, the municipal administration of Corleone, and the local Pro Loco, together with local economic operators. The common thread is the link between ethics, work, and growth: in Corleone, a land full of memory and redemption, productive excellence becomes a tool for sustainable development and the affirmation of the values of legality.
