Vicoli Vivi

Vicoli Vivi: Salento reborn in the alleys of Supersano

Vicoli Vivi is the food, wine, cultural, and musical festival that every summer brings life back to the historic center of Supersano, a village in the Salento hinterland in the Province of Lecce, Puglia. The concept is simple yet captivating: restoring the role of meeting place to the village's alleys, courtyards, and small squares, transforming them for a few July nights into a grand itinerary of taste, craftsmanship, and entertainment. Organized by the Pro Loco Supersano, the event has grown with each edition to become one of the most anticipated appointments of the Salento summer.

A sensory journey through wine and flavors

The heart of Vicoli Vivi is a true journey into the flavors of the territory. At the entrance, every visitor receives a personalized wine glass and a pouch to begin the tasting journey that winds through the alleys of the historic center. Along the way, you will encounter over twenty Apulian wineries, with more than eighty labels to sample, accompanied by small-scale producers, masters of taste, and farm-to-table street food that tells the story of Salento and Mediterranean cuisine. An entire street is dedicated to the region's wine excellence, in a continuous dialogue between winemakers, food artisans, and the public.

Craftsmanship, culture, and Future Traditions

Alongside food and wine, Vicoli Vivi gives space to craftsmanship and culture. Within the walls of the historic center, you will find the workshops of master artisans, who display and create their works live, alongside exhibitions, installations, and in-depth sessions. The common thread of recent editions is the theme of Future Traditions, an invitation to combine memory and innovation to build more conscious and hospitable communities, where the enhancement of local heritage also becomes an opportunity for urban regeneration and sustainable food tourism.

Music in the nights of Supersano

Every evening ignites with live music, ranging from Salento's pizzica and taranta to reggae, folk, and DJ sets. Past editions have featured names from the Salento music scene, capable of making squares and alleys dance until late at night. Folk music, with its tambourines and traditional circles, remains one of the festival's core identities and one of the main reasons visitors flock from all over Puglia.

Supersano, a village in the Salento hinterland

Located inland, just a few kilometers from the Ionian and Adriatic coasts, the Municipality of Supersano preserves the intimate atmosphere of Salento villages, with its stone houses, courtyards, and central square. Vicoli Vivi is also a way to discover this authentic corner of Salento, far from the most crowded circuits, and to experience Apulian hospitality in an intimate and convivial setting. An experience that combines good wine, genuine flavors, music, and community in one of the most evocative summer nights in the Province of Lecce.
