Edition 2025 — The Moon and the Badlands

In August 2025, La Luna e i Calanchi animated Aliano with the usual 'paesologia' festival: night walks through the badlands, concerts, poetry, and meetings, with over one hundred artists living in the village for several days, under the direction of Franco Arminio.

The 2025 edition of the La Luna e i Calanchi festival confirmed its role as a key cultural event for the inland areas of the South. In Aliano, among the badlands and in the places of Carlo Levi, poetry readings, folk and gypsy music concerts, and evocative night walks took place, in an intertwining of art, landscape, and community desired by Franco Arminio.
