The Sagra du Contadinu 2025 was held in Giurdignano, in the province of Lecce, on August 8 and 9. Once again, the festival organized by the Pro Loco showcased the best of Salento's peasant cuisine: eggplant parmigiana, fried peppers, porchetta, mixed grills, pieces of horse meat, and peasant-style friselle, all paired with local wine.

The two evenings were enlivened by folk music and pizzica: Friday, August 8, featured Lu Scazzamurreddhu, while Saturday, August 9, saw Mute Terre take the stage. A great community celebration that confirmed the Sagra du Contadinu as one of the most beloved gastronomic events of the Salento summer.
