The 52nd edition of Terranostra took place in Apiro from August 9th to 15th, 2025, with a strong message of peace. Six international groups performed – from Belarus, Ecuador, the USA, Colombia, Tahiti, and Turkey – along with Apiro's Urbanitas Association, during the opening ceremony, village festival, Folklore Gala, and the final Ferragosto farewell.

The 52nd edition of the Terranostra International Folklore Festival was held in Apiro (MC) from August 9th to 15th, 2025, presented by the mayor as a great message of peace and friendship among peoples.
