Celebrations in honour of St Nilus

From 26 to 28 September 2025, Corigliano-Rossano will pay tribute to its co-patron saint, San Nilo, with three days packed with events combining spirituality, culture and celebrations for the whole community. The programme celebrates the figure of the saint, guardian of the city, and invites citizens and visitors to rediscover their historical roots and local traditions. Piazza Steri will host a series of shows, music and flavours:

• Friday 26 September: 'Dance Tarantella', an original mix of folk and electronic music that blends the popular traditions of southern Italy with modern sounds.
• Saturday 27 September: the seventh edition of 'Dolci note show', an evening dedicated to emerging talents in singing, dancing and creativity, with a special section dedicated to fashion.
• Sunday 28 September: the debut of the 'Pruppetish' gastronomic contest, a tribute to local culinary history and the queen of traditions, the aubergine meatball. The finalists will compete for the title while food and wine and craft stands offer a journey through the flavours and aromas of the region.
