Romantic Night in the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy

A night of love in the perched village of Sutera

The Romantic Night in the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy is a national initiative promoted by the Association of the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy, which, on a single evening in June, makes the hearts of over 230 small historic centers across the peninsula beat in unison. Among them is Sutera, a jewel of central Sicily in the province of Caltanissetta, a village perched at the foot of Mount San Paolino with its characteristic Arab-Norman districts of Rabato and Rabatello.

The theme: "Love for memories"

The theme of the edition is "Love for memories", a choice that finds a particularly authentic setting in Sutera: the village guards an invaluable heritage of traditions, stories, and memories passed down from generation to generation. The evening begins with the welcoming of visitors in the historic center and an emotional walk through alleys, courtyards, and picturesque corners, accompanied by the "Memories of love" segment, featuring stories and testimonies about the affections and traditions of the Sutera community.

Gastronomy, serenades, and tradition

The gastronomic and musical heart of the evening features a tasting of "li maccarruna di li ziti", the famous dish symbolic of the Sutera wedding tradition, long associated with the town's wedding banquets. The festival is enlivened by the "Sirinati d'Amuri", moments of music and serenades in the spirit of the most authentic Sicilian folk tradition.

• Welcome and walk through the alleys of the historic center

The grand finale under the arch

The most anticipated moment is "La vasata all'ammuccìuni", the traditional and evocative kiss under the arch, which seals the evening with the presentation of a commemorative parchment to all couples and participants. A simple and romantic gesture that turns the Romantic Night of Sutera into an indelible memory.

Sutera, one of the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy

By joining the initiative as a member of the Association, Sutera showcases its charm as an inland Sicilian village: stone houses, stairways, the cliff of Mount San Paolino, and an atmosphere suspended in time. An ideal destination for those seeking slow and authentic tourism, far from mass routes, in the heart of the province of Caltanissetta.
