Stregherie — Literary Alchemy Festival

The 2025 edition of Stregherie once again brought the great names of Italian literature to Bisceglie (BT), on the Scalinata dei Lettori of the Vecchie Segherie Mastrototaro. The festival opened with the Apulian stop of the Premio Strega Tour, hosting the five 2025 finalists in a direct dialogue with the public, moderated by Radio 24 journalist Alessandra Tedesco, with readings by actor Dario Aita.

The following evenings alternated between non-fiction and local memory, including the presentation of «Governare le fragilità» and the story of a piece of Bisceglie's nightlife history. Free admission and evening events.
