Italian towns of Bistagno, Verucchio and Lariano report local festivals and a prolonged water‑loss issue

In Bistagno, the APS "G. Berretta" Corale Voci di Bistagno will host the "Festa in Bianco" on Saturday, 25 July, at 20:00 in the municipal festival area. Attendees must dress entirely in white; the evening includes a shared dinner, a vintage vinyl DJ set and a prize for the most original white outfit. Proceeds are intended to fund future editions of the "Bistagno in Jazz" music series.

Verucchio is launching a new edition of its summer wine‑tasting event, now called Calici 3.0, with the municipality handing organization to the Ferrarese firm L'Accento for the 2026‑27 biennium. The festival will run on 31 July and 1 August from 19:00 to 24:00, featuring wine ticket sales, live music, DJ sets, food stands, guided tours of the historic centre and performances in Piazza Malatesta and other venues.

In Lariano, a persistent leak at the Bottino reservoir, operated by Acea Ato 2, has been discharging thousands of litres of water into a nearby forest for several months. Despite repeated reports from residents, no repair work has been carried out, prompting concerns over water waste and occasional supply pressure drops during the summer heat.
