InCanto di Natale

The 2025/2026 edition of InCanto di Natale took place in Ruffano (LE) from December 8, 2025, to January 6, 2026, with thirteen evening events and the village illuminated every night. The inauguration on December 8 (Immaculate Conception) featured the circus-theatrical show Lumina by the Compagnia Girovaghi, the lighting of the tree in Piazza San Francesco, and Santa's parade to the House in Piazza del Popolo. Among the novelties was the Solidarity Village with third-sector associations. The program alternated markets, the Piazza del Gusto with street food, the artistic nativity scene in the underground oil mill, swing and gospel concerts, cover bands, and children's workshops. The closing, between January 3 and 6, featured a charity concert for the oncology department, gospel in Torrepaduli, and the Befana party with sweets and shows in the historic center.
