Rezzica

Rezzica 2025 — fifteenth edition

On Wednesday, August 13, 2025, from 8:00 PM, the historic center of San Vito dei Normanni hosted the fifteenth edition of Rezzica. The characteristic stratodde of the village transformed into a widespread open-air stage, animated by pizzica and Salento folk culture.

Live music with tambourines and violins, improvised dances, theatrical performances linked to ancient traditions, and the illuminated rezze—the woven wooden slat curtains that give the festival its name—came to life along the alleys. Food stalls offered the most beloved flavors of Apulian cuisine: fragrant focaccia, local cheeses, traditional sweets, and local wine.

In 2025, Rezzica once again confirmed its nature as a collective ritual that unites memory, culture, and social life, celebrating the identity of the San Vito dei Normanni community in the heart of the Brindisi province.
