Duerive — Festival of Stories

Duerive 2025: three evenings of stories in Tricase

The 5th edition of Duerive — Festival of Stories was held from July 25 to 27, 2025, at the Castello dei Trane in Tutino, Tricase, starting at 9:00 PM with free admission. The festival, directed by Graziano Gala and Emanuele Bosso, wove together literature, music, and performance along a path dedicated to shipwrecks and the art of traveling, telling stories, and getting lost.

The first evening featured the presentation of the magazine The Passenger dedicated to Puglia, with Annibale Gagliani and Paola Moscardino, followed by Gian Marco Griffi with the novel Digressione (Einaudi) and the Vinyl Voyage DJ set. The second day hosted Federica Brunini (Effetto Jane Austen) and Valentina D'Urbano (Figlia del temporale), with a concert by Renzo Rubino. The final evening awarded the Duerive Prize to Carmine Tundo and featured actor Francesco Montanari as the main guest, with a live acoustic performance by Giulia Imperato and Mario Turco.

Produced by the Duerive: Festival delle Storie APS association with Proloco Tricase and the support of the Regional Council of Puglia, the 2025 edition confirmed the festival as one of the cultural highlights of the Salento summer.
