Cultural developments in Avellino and Calabria

In Avellino, singer-songwriter and TikToker Rosa Bellaroba has composed and performed a new anthem dedicated to the city. The song features lyrics and music that pay tribute to the local football supporters, specifically referencing the 'Curva Sud' and the emotional connection between the fans and the team.

In Calabria, the second edition of the Duonnu Pantu Festival is scheduled for August 21 and 22 in Aprigliano. The event, themed ‘I poeti ribelli del ’600’ (The Rebel Poets of the 1600s), celebrates the legacy of the 17th-century Calabrian dialect poet Duonnu Pantu through poetry, art, and cinema. This year’s edition follows the artistic direction envisioned by the late Francesca Marchese, focusing on themes of freedom, satire, and social inclusion.
