Torna al tuo Paese (with Canta Baby)

Torna al tuo Paese: Cervino embraces its roots

Torna al tuo Paese is the cultural and musical festival that marks the start of summer in Cervino, a small town in the province of Caserta, Campania. The event was born from a desire to put the community, memory, and local identity back at the center, transforming the squares of the historic center into meeting places where art, music, and folk traditions intertwine. It is an event designed for those who live in Cervino, as well as for those who have left and return, even if just for two days, to reconnect with their roots.

Who organizes the festival

The festival is promoted by the CerMes association, in close collaboration with the Patronal Feast Committee and the Municipal Administration of Cervino. This synergy between the association, the religious committee, and local institutions is the heart of the initiative: a model of grassroots participation that enhances the territory and strengthens the sense of belonging within the Cervino community.

The return of Canta Baby

Among the most anticipated moments is the return of Canta Baby, the historic musical festival dedicated to children, created by maestro Vincenzo Piscitelli and absent from the town's squares for nearly ten years. The festival highlights the talent and energy of the new generation, offering children a stage to perform before their community. Its return is a sign of continuity with tradition and a way to involve families in a celebration that speaks to all ages.

Social theater, jazz, and comedy

The program alternates between different artistic languages. Social theater arrives with a traveling performance created alongside inmates from the Arienzo Prison, an emotional journey that winds through the historic center, restoring the value of inclusion and redemption to the stage. Jazz music resonates in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele with the New Orleans and Chicago sounds of the 1920s, while evenings of comedy and Neapolitan folk music fill the squares with joy until late at night.

Cervino, among the Tifatini Mountains

Cervino is located in the Caserta hinterland, at the foot of the Tifatini Mountains, a land of olive groves and ancient farming traditions. Experiencing Torna al tuo Paese also means discovering an authentic village in Campania, far from the major tourist circuits, where local festivals still preserve the genuine warmth of community life. The festival is free to attend and open to everyone.
