On 22 September 2023, the traditional event will be held in Pianopoli every year on the occasion of the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, the main gathering of the townspeople in a religious but also folkloric context. The grape carts, in fact, represent the values of Pianopoli and Calabria of yesteryear, which during these weeks sees dozens of farmers harvesting the fruit of their hard work, which is then transformed into one of the most important typical products as well as one of the most convivial drinks ever.
The importance of this event is even greater when one considers that it serves to pass on these values to the new generations and to help integrate the foreign communities present in the municipality. The evening of the initiative will also feature a concert by Calabrian singer-songwriter Santino Cardamone, a versatile and critically acclaimed artist since his participation in the X Factor auditions.
