Edition 2025 — Spettacolando

The 26th edition of Spettacolando took place on Saturday, July 5, 2025, in Camporgiano. It was the first edition following the passing of the founder, Maestro Giorgio Santarini, to whom the festival was dedicated. From the afternoon until late at night, the village squares hosted the Bada Boomer Street Band, puppet shows, magic, mime, and a grand finale featuring quick-change acts, stilt walking, and illusionism. The free event was organized by the Laboratorio Teatrale dei Contafole and enjoyed great success with the public.

Spettacolando 2025 — 26th Edition

On Saturday, July 5, 2025, Camporgiano hosted the 26th edition of Spettacolando, the first since the passing of the founder, Maestro Giorgio Santarini, to whose memory the evening was dedicated. The historic centre of the Garfagnana village was once again transformed into a sprawling stage, with performances continuing from late afternoon until deep into the night.

The festival opened at 5:00 PM with the Bada Boomer Street Band, taking the audience on a musical journey through the most iconic hits of the eighties; at 6:00 PM, the puppet show Il buono, lo gnomo e il cattivo was performed by actor and puppeteer Italo Pecoretti. In the evening, magic, mime, and clowning took the stage, leading up to the midnight grand finale featuring quick-change acts, stilt walking, and illusionism by actors Pietro Rasoti and Miriam Calautti. The event, which was free to attend and organized by the Laboratorio Teatrale dei Contafole, reaffirmed the strong bond between the Camporgiano community and its festival.
