ZammàrArt Fest

The 2025 edition marked the debut of the ZammàrArt Fest in Basicò, in the setting of the Palazzo baronale De Maria, recording sell-out crowds from the very first evening. The festival, with free admission, offered a week of events from July 20 to 27.

Highlights included: the presentation of the book Life - My Story Through History (the autobiography of Pope Francis), presented by Vatican expert Fabio Marchese Ragona, and a series of musical tributes. These included the Lucio Battisti Tribute with "Solo Battisti Live", the Fabrizio De André Tribute with the "Llx" orchestra on July 26, and, as a closing event, the Rosa Balistreri Tribute with Barbara Arcadi on July 27. The local public and visitors from the entire district ensured the success of the first edition organized by the APS Banca della Speranza under the artistic direction of Emanuela Segreto.
