Edition 2025 — Festival of the Charlatan
The Festival of the Charlatan 2025 was held in Cerreto di Spoleto on Saturday, August 23, and Sunday, August 24, transforming the village's alleys and squares into a widespread stage. The program featured a mix of street theatre, contemporary circus, magic acts, comedy, live music, workshops, and trekking activities, with visits to the Museum of the Charlatan and the Mummy Museum.
Among the artists who animated the lineup were Massimo Bagnato, Mago Alivernini, Carmela De Marte, the Sesti/Contini Company, Matteo Pallotto, and Simone Romanò. Despite uncertain weather, Mayor Giandomenico Montesi emphasized that the festival continues to be "a driver of cultural and tourist development" for the village and the entire Valnerina, with broad, intergenerational participation.
