Riavulillo Festival 2025: the 28th edition

From August 3 to 5, 2025, the village of Arola, on the hills of the Municipality of Vico Equense, hosted the twenty-eighth edition of the Riavulillo Festival, organized by the Associazione Gli Amici del Riavulillo with the patronage of the City of Vico Equense and the Metropolitan City of Naples.

Every evening, starting at 8:00 PM, the stalls offered grilled riavulillo along with fresh pasta, grilled sausage, vegetables, and artisanal desserts, with local wine and craft beer. The stage set up in front of the church of Sant'Antonino hosted three different musical evenings: the Tropicana Orchestra on August 3, the Kalimba group with Southern folk music on August 4, and the Quattro Quarti, featuring Italian singer-songwriter music and Neapolitan classics, on August 5.

In 2025, the Municipality also initiated the request for recognition of the event as a "Typical Festival of Campania", confirming the now-consolidated link between the De.Co. product and the identity of the hamlet.
