Edition 2025 — Suggestioni Sub Flore
The 2025 edition of Suggestioni Sub Flore, the sixth of the festival, brought Torremaggiore to life from August 31 to September 7, 2025. The opening weekend inaugurated the medieval village and visits to the Castel Fiorentino archaeological site, featuring the theatrical show "Secondo Federico" and a free shuttle service from the Ducal Castle.
The central days featured guided tours of the sanctuaries, district festivals with games and local gastronomy, a conference dedicated to Frederick II, and the screening of a short film on the emperor's final days, in addition to the re-enactment of the "Defeat of Fiorentino". The closing weekend featured a medieval banquet with jesters and fire games, the Historical Pageant of Fiorentino in its 40th edition—departing on September 6 from the Federico II public gardens—and, on September 7, the imperial pageant with the Palio delle Contrade and the equestrian ring joust in Piazza De Sangro, closing with the dawn concert at the archaeological site.
The event was organized by the Municipality of Torremaggiore with the Department of Culture and Tourism and numerous local associations, with the patronage of the Puglia Region.
