Perbacco che Vicoli

In 2025, Perbacco che Vicoli rekindled the Christmas atmosphere of Francavilla Fontana from November 23 to 26, transforming the alleys of the historic center at the foot of Castello Imperiali into a festive village. Along the pedestrian streets of the town, there were artisan markets, street performer shows, artificial snow, and music from bagpipers and musicians from the Paisiello Conservatory of Taranto.

There was no shortage of food and wine workshops and tastings of typical Apulian products and Christmas sweets, from pettole to panzerotti, from bombette di Martina Franca to provolone impiccato. The presence of a Santa Claus and a vintage carousel made the event suitable for families and children, confirming the free and popular nature of the festival.
