Flowered Village Festival

The 11th edition of the Flowered Village Festival brought Piazza Giovanni XXIII to life on Saturday, August 2, 2025, in the historic center of Forza d'Agrò. The evening, hosted by Francesca Crea, alternated between art, dance, and fashion: the dance school "The Diamonds of Dance," directed by Rachele Siligato and Michael Gianni, opened with their performances, while the musical lineup featured singers Connie, special guest Mattia Gallo (known for his participation in X-Factor Malta), and Sonia Grasso.

The heart of the evening was the "Fashion feelings" show by designer Emanuele Ricchena, featuring nine models: two outfits carried a strong social message, a golden yellow dress for breast cancer prevention and a red one dedicated to the fight against violence against women. The guest of honor was Dr. Salvo Zappalà, president of the Ente Pro Loco Sicilia. The evening concluded with Mayor Bruno Miliadò, who thanked the Orchidea ODV Association and its president, Anna Coppolino.
