Edition 2025 — Pitta Festival

In the summer of 2025, Andrano once again hosted the Pitta culle Ùlie Festival on August 3rd in the Serra di Castro. The evening combined the free distribution of pitte—soft focaccias with black olives and extra virgin olive oil—with devotion to the Madonna and a popular festive atmosphere, featuring folk music and traditional Salento dances that brought the sea-facing promontory to life.

The 2025 edition of the Pitta culle Ùlie Festival reaffirmed Andrano's (province of Lecce) connection to its rural roots. In the setting of the Serra di Castro, amidst the scent of freshly baked bread and local oil, visitors were able to enjoy free pitte topped with black olives.

The festival took place in conjunction with the celebrations in honor of the Madonna of the Attarico area, weaving together religious, gastronomic, and folkloric elements. Folk music and traditional dances accompanied the evening, attracting residents and tourists to a genuine and convivial event, among the most characteristic of the lower Salento summer.
