Zagarolo Grape Festival

The 81st edition of the Zagarolo Grape Festival was held from Friday, October 3 to Sunday, October 5, 2025, transforming the village's historic center into an open-air stage. The official opening, in Piazza Guglielmo Marconi with Mayor Emanuela Panzironi and local associations, kicked off a very rich weekend: on Friday evening, the DJ set of Zoo di Radio 105 with Paolo Noise and Pippo Palmieri; on Saturday, the concert of guest of honor Nino Frassica & Los Plaggers Band in Piazza Santa Maria; on Sunday, the comedy of Alberto Farina, the Max Mania — 883 tribute band, and the final concert by Ladri di Carrozzelle.

Alongside the music, there was tradition: the parade of allegorical floats decorated with grapes, the historical pageant with costumes from the Sartoria Storica di Zagarolo, Roman stornelli singers, dialect theater, and performances by local dance schools. Eighteen taverns served traditional Lazio cuisine and local wines, while the Toy Museum of Palazzo Rospigliosi opened for free over the weekend. A delegation from the twin city of Six-Fours-les-Plages, in France, also took part in the free-admission event.
