About Strigora
The Village of the Witches
Strigora — A Sunday with the Witches of Triora is the festival that recalls the village's most famous story: the witchcraft trial of 1587, which made Triora (upper Argentina valley, province of Imperia) known throughout Italy as "the village of the witches." A tale of superstition and tragedy that still fuels the village's mysterious charm today.
