Edition 2025 — Piccantissima

In 2025, Piccantissima brought its evenings dedicated to the chilli pepper to Pila di Perugia, at the Parco dell'Arringatore of Villa Umbra: spicy dishes from the Central-Southern regions, Umbrian cuisine in the spotlight, dancing with orchestras, and the "Colori piccanti" (Spicy Colours) initiative of impromptu painting curated by the Perugia delegation of the Italian Academy of Chilli Peppers.

The 2025 edition of Piccantissima took place in Pila di Perugia, at the Parco dell'Arringatore of Villa Umbra, reprising the formula that combines spicy gastronomy and entertainment. Organised by Sporting Pila with the Perugia delegation of the Accademia Italiana del Peperoncino, it offered stands with spicy dishes inspired by the cuisines of Sicily, Calabria, Puglia, Basilicata, and Campania.

Among the new features, a new dance floor with big orchestras and the "Colori piccanti" initiative, an impromptu painting event curated by Prof. Piero Toraldo, president of the Perugia delegation of the Academy, where artists created works on the theme "Umbria and chilli pepper".
