Kemarh between past and present

The 2025 edition of «Kemarh tra passato e presente» took place on August 24th in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, in the historic center of Campomarino. The evening, part of the AESTIVA festival program, rediscovered the Arbëreshë identity of the village—one of the four Albanian centers in Molise—through exhibitions of traditional costumes, music and songs in Albanian, and folk dances. A moment of strong identity value, which told the public about the 15th-century roots of a community that arrived on the Molise coast after the Turkish advance.
