La Notte della Taranta – Zollino Stage

The Zollino stage of the 2025 edition took place on Sunday, August 17, 2025, as part of the traveling festival La Notte della Taranta titled "Plurali". The town center hosted the evening in Largo Villa Comunale, with free admission.

The protagonist was the Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino, a historic group founded in 1975 by Rina Durante, which in 2025 celebrated its fiftieth anniversary with the new show "Il Mito", enriched by electronic arrangements by Inude and guests Roberto Licci and Rossella Pinto, voices of the Griko tradition. At 8:30 PM, the evening opened with the third appointment of the Taranta Talks, a tribute to Roberto De Simone titled "La Gatta Cenerentola: la visione, il racconto", also accompanied by a guided tour of Zollino's historic center.
