Edition 2025 — Night of the Sighs

The 2025 edition of the Night of the Sighs, titled "La Follia" (The Madness), was held on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at the port of Bisceglie, from 6:30 PM to 11:00 PM. Presented as the most "sigh-filled" night in Puglia and hosted by Vito Romaniello and Marilena Farinola, it was a record-breaking edition, with over 20% more attendance than the previous year and visitors from Puglia, Basilicata, and Campania. The stars were the sweet Sospiro and the new savory variants, amidst shows, music, and fireworks.

The Night of the Sighs 2025, with the theme "La Follia", animated the port of Bisceglie on Saturday, September 20, 2025, from 6:30 PM to 11:00 PM. Hosted by presenters Vito Romaniello and Marilena Farinola, the evening offered tastings of the Sospiro in numerous flavors — classic, without glaze, pistachio, mixed berries, coffee, lemon, and chocolate — alongside the popular savory versions and gluten-free and lactose-free variants.

It was a record-breaking edition: attendance grew by over 20% compared to 2024, with audiences arriving from Puglia, Basilicata, and Campania, as well as numerous tourists. The plastic-free formula was confirmed, and the event strengthened Bisceglie's image as the capital of Puglian sweetness, in collaboration with the "La Dolce Puglia" format.
