La Puglia che ti piglia - Pugliese Festival of Muggiò

Puglia Arrives in Brianza

For a weekend in March, Muggiò — a municipality in the Province of Monza and Brianza — transforms into a small Pugliese village. La Puglia che ti piglia is the travelling village, organised by Tipico Eventi in collaboration with the Municipality, which brings the colours, flavours, and sounds of Salento and all of Puglia to Piazza Matteotti.

Trulli, Fairy Lights, and Southern Cuisine

The square is themed with trulli-shaped structures, olive trees, and characteristic Pugliese fairy lights, recreating the atmosphere of Southern patronal feasts. The food stands offer signature dishes of Pugliese cuisine — from orecchiette to bombette — accompanied by craft beers and street food specialities. It's a journey into taste that introduces Brianza residents to the agricultural and maritime roots of Puglia.

To the Rhythm of Pizzica

The soundtrack to the festival is pizzica, the exhilarating folk dance from Salento, featured in live concerts that liven up the evenings and involve the public. With free admission and open to the entire community, La Puglia che ti piglia is now an anticipated event in the Muggiò calendar, capable of combining the promotion of Southern traditions with the pleasure of a public festival in the heart of Brianza.
