Notte Verde

The 11th edition of Notte Verde enlivened the historic centre of Cisternino on 18 and 19 August 2025 with the theme of the «Journey», understood as the desire to leave, explore distant places, and seek knowledge. Once again with free admission, the event intertwined music, dance, readings, and art in the squares and green spaces of the village.

Among the most intense moments were the dance performance «Our Odyssey» by Antonella Apruzzi with choreography by Giada Zizzi, the piano concert by Augusto, and the live set by EMAHO, featuring electric sounds and rhythms that rediscover the bond with nature. The second evening featured «Laudato mi Signore», music and readings for the 800th anniversary of the Canticle of the Creatures in the Municipal Pine Forest, and world music by the Pastellesse Studio Group.

There were also astronomical observations from the Civic Tower by the Sirio Association, a pomological exhibition, the light installation «Itineraries from Earth to Heaven», and a space dedicated to children.
