The Serenades Palio

On Saturday 21 June 2025, in Bisignano, in the heart of the ancient village, the appointment is renewed with one of the most poetic and enthralling events of the Calabrian summer: the Serenades Palio.

Founded in 1992 and structured as a true town palio since 2007, the event brings back to life the magic of love serenades, with which young lovers used to declare their feelings under the windows of their beloved ones. A simple and profound gesture, which in Bisignano today becomes a spectacle, a competition, a shared tradition.

Competing for the prize will be the city's eight historic districts, each represented by a musical group ready to perform in the streets and alleyways of the centre, amidst decorated balconies, soft lights and melodies that taste of the past and sentiment. The setting is the fascinating one of the village, which guards the memory of the Sanseverino family and the great art of violin-making of the De Bonis Masters, to whom the event pays homage.

The evening is a journey through collective memory, an invitation to rediscover roots, popular music, craftsmanship and identity. But also an opportunity for young people to approach the traditions of the territory in a lively, exciting, participatory way.
