Salento in Cima alla Cuccagna (Collepasso stage)

In 2025, the Salento in Cima alla Cuccagna reached its 4th edition, with a circuit that touched five municipalities in Salento: San Donato (April 21), Monteroni di Lecce (April 22), Sternatia (April 24), Collepasso (April 25), and Cocumola (April 26).

In Collepasso, the stage was organized by Rioni Collepassesi A.P.S., together with the circuit organized by the "Madonna di San Fili" association of Monteroni, under the patronage of the Province of Lecce. The competition took place on the main 13.5-meter pole, accompanied by a 9-meter pole reserved for children and teenagers, a novelty of that edition. Participating teams also included guest formations such as "I Matti" from Gubbio and "I Ghétt" from Colloro. The day was enriched by side events including fairs, markets, musical performances, dance, cabaret, and tastings of local products.
