A true food and wine route allowing visitors to savour authenticity and quality. Folk music, traditional dances, photographic exhibitions and historical reenactments complete a rich and varied programme that transforms the festival into a 360-degree cultural event. The intimate and lively atmosphere of the ancient village creates the perfect setting to rediscover the roots of the Turi community and share a celebration uniting memory, art and conviviality.
