Le Fanòve d'Sciò

The third edition of Le Fanòve d'Sciò was held over two evenings, March 19 and 20, 2025, in the historic center of Gioia del Colle, in the province of Bari.

Both evenings, the event kicked off at 7:00 PM with the lighting of five bonfires located in Largo Le Grazie, Largo Cisterna, the churchyard of Santa Maria Maggiore, Piazza Livia, and Piazza dei Martiri del 1799. Along the historic center route, there was a succession of music, performances, storytelling, and folk dancing, alongside stalls featuring crafts from all over Italy and exhibitors of agricultural products. Among the featured flavors were cicerchie cooked in a pignata, zampino, and Primitivo di Gioia del Colle. A free shuttle bus service, running every 30 minutes, connected the parking areas to the center.
