Edition 2025 — Cunti e Canti di Natale

On Sunday, December 28, 2025, at 7:00 PM, the Pro Loco of Giardini Naxos presented "Cunti e Canti di Natale" at the Parish of Santa Maria Immacolata (Church of San Giovanni). A free-admission evening entirely dedicated to the Sicilian language, featuring dramatized poetry, cunti, dialect plays, Christmas carols, and live music, directed by Naxos Entertainment under Giovanni Bucolo.

The 2025 edition of Cunti e Canti di Natale was held on December 28, 2025, at 7:00 PM, at the Parish of Santa Maria Immacolata (Church of San Giovanni) in Giardini-Naxos, on the initiative of the local Pro Loco led by Giuseppe Carmeni and with the patronage of the Municipality.

The absolute star of the evening was the Sicilian language, a vehicle for culture, traditions, and the most authentic spirit of Christmas. Local theater companies took part in the dramatized interpretation of poems, texts, and cunti, while the musical portion featured choirs, plectrum groups, singer-songwriters, and local storytellers. The direction was handled by Naxos Entertainment, a film and theater laboratory directed by Giovanni Bucolo, in collaboration with the parish led by Father Eugenio Tamà.
