The Treasures of the Mediterranean

From 29 July to 3 August 2025, Reggio Calabria will once again be decked out in Mediterranean style to host the 20th edition of “Treasures of the Mediterranean”, the major international event that has been promoting the region's excellence and the cultural ties that unite the shores of the Mare Nostrum for twenty years.

At the heart of the event is the evocative Mediterranean Regatta, a sailing challenge that attracts crews from all over Italy and abroad – including the eagerly awaited participation of the Siggiewi team, representing Malta – transforming the Strait of Reggio Calabria into an exceptional stage for lovers of the sea and sailing.

But “Treasures of the Mediterranean” is not just about sport: the programme will be enriched by concerts, shows under the stars, meetings with authors, readings, exhibitions and entertainment, hosted in the splendid setting of the Ciccio Franco Arena, overlooking the Strait.

Culture will also be in the spotlight, with the Apollo Literary Prize, which in 2025 will see the participation of 16 publishing houses from all over Italy, reflecting the increasingly national scope of the event. Added to this are literary meetings with authors and stands at the Cittadella, a place for dialogue and discovery.
