Gricanti Festival

The 14th edition of the Gricanti Festival took place on Friday, June 20, 2025, starting at 9:30 PM, in the open-air amphitheater of Masseria Sant'Angelo in Corigliano d'Otranto (LE). The edition, titled "Un tamburello per un sorriso" ("A tambourine for a smile"), had a strong focus on solidarity: proceeds were donated to the deaf children of the Donnino's Family school in Zanzibar.

As per tradition, the evening featured original songs in the ancient Grika language of Grecìa Salentina, with the announcement in Grika: "Decatessara xrogna a to Gricanti Festival" ("Fourteen years of the Gricanti Festival"). The stage hosted numerous artists and groups from the Salento scene, including Semisparsi, Alessia Tondo, the Collettivo Diatonico Salentino, Rocco De Santis, Mattia Gregoriadis, Officina Zoè, Arakne Mediterranea, and Ghetonia. The music was accompanied by the hospitality of the masseria, with pucce and wine, under the patronage of the Municipality of Corigliano d'Otranto.
