Edition 2025 — Le Vie dell'Amore

In 2025, Le Vie dell'Amore brought the historic center of Presicce to life over three evenings—Friday the 14th, Sunday the 16th, and Sunday the 23rd of February—starting at 5:00 PM. Three themed routes (Cupid's Road, Shakespeare's Road, and the Rainbow Road) guided visitors through light installations, Valentine's markets, live music, art exhibitions, and guided tours of the Salento village's underground oil mills.

A widespread Valentine's Day in the village

The 2025 edition of Le Vie dell'Amore took place in Presicce, in the municipality of Presicce-Acquarica (Lecce), on February 14, 16, and 23, starting at 5:00 PM. The itinerant path wound through the alleys of the historic center, divided into three themed routes: Cupid's Road, Shakespeare's Road, and the Rainbow Road.

The heart of the setup included the central hypogeum in Piazza del Popolo and the Ducal Palace with its hanging gardens. Visitors were accompanied by Valentine's craft markets, live music, art exhibitions, and guided tours of the evocative underground oil mills. The light installations remained visible in the village even on the days following the three main evenings.
