Edition 2025 — La Notte dei Grani

The second edition of La Notte dei Grani took place on August 22, 2025, in Villa Baldassarri, Guagnano, promoted by the local municipality. The evening focused on the value of food as a community narrative and a driver for sustainable development, featuring workshops, talks, performances, shows, clowning, and music, alongside tastings of local artisanal products.

La Notte dei Grani 2025

The second edition of La Notte dei Grani was held on August 22, 2025, starting at 6:00 PM, throughout the streets and courtyards of Villa Baldassarri, a village in the municipality of Guagnano, Province of Lecce. The central theme was food as memory, a community narrative, and a driver for sustainable local development.

Guests of the evening included Daniele De Michele, known as Don Pasta, who led a talk and a performance dedicated to cooking as a collective story, and musician Mauro Lazzari of Santi Paduli. The program alternated between workshops, meetings, shows, and live music, with a live set that brought the village night to life. There was a strong emphasis on local gastronomy, with pittule, fried calzoni, charcuterie and cheese boards, and various bread varieties—from Senatore Cappelli grain to buckwheat—in a journey celebrating community ovens and traditional Salento baking.
