Crinali

The 2025 edition of Crinali, the ninth, was held from June 12 to September 29 with more than 50 performances in 20 municipalities of the Bolognese Apennines. The festival offered creative walks where the protagonists were the places, landscapes, and villages, combined with music, cinema, and theatre performances, with a particular focus on puppet theatre.

Among the artists of the 2025 edition were Ascanio Celestini, Milena Vukotic, Andrea Santonastaso, Max Gazzè, the Mefisto Brass, Mirko Menna, and the Coro delle Mondine di Novi. The main innovations were sensory walks, also open to visually impaired people, and some archeo-trekking experiences, in line with the themes of sustainability and inclusion that characterize the festival also in the territory of Grizzana Morandi.
