Calabria Factory Fest celebrates regional craftsmanship and culture

The second edition of the Calabria Factory Fest, titled ‘Il Festival del Saper Fare’, is taking place from October 9 to 11, 2026. The event aims to highlight the artisanal heritage, technical skills, and creative identity of the Calabria region.

In Crotone, the Gerardo Sacco showroom will host an exhibition dedicated to the master goldsmith, showcasing over sixty years of work that integrates Calabrian tradition and Mediterranean history into jewelry. The program includes cultural readings focused on the Mediterranean and the relationship between craftsmanship, cinema, and cultural heritage.

Additionally, the Librandi winery in Rocca di Neto is participating in the festival. Visitors can explore the Tenuta Rosaneti, which features a varietal garden containing over two hundred indigenous grape varieties recovered by the late Nicodemo Librandi. The program also includes visits to the VITES industrial museum to explore the history of local viticulture.
