The Village of Wishes

The 2025 edition of The Village of Wishes took place on Sunday, August 10, 2025, on the Night of St. Lawrence, transforming the historic center of Casale Marittimo into a journey of music, games, and wishes. The event began at 6:30 PM in Piazza del Popolo, the heart of the village, and continued until late at night through the evocative alleys.

The musical and artistic program featured live music by Alice Sentieri, creative workshops for children, the "Star Hunt" organized by the 44 Gatti Cooperative, and an exhibition of works by the local kindergarten. On the culinary front, there was no shortage of cocktails and dishes inspired by wishes, the traditional frati caldi from the Pro Loco, and offerings from local businesses. Performances, games, and moments of sharing for all ages completed an evening designed to slow down, get excited, and return to believing in the power of wishes under the stars of St. Lawrence.
