The Calabria region has hosted several events focused on preserving and celebrating local heritage, craftsmanship, and gastronomy.

In early October, the second edition of the Calabria Factory Fest, ‘Il Festival del Saper Fare’, took place. The festival highlighted regional artisanal skills and creative identity through exhibitions such as a master goldsmith showcase in Crotone and visits to the Librandi winery and the VITES industrial museum to explore local viticulture.

Later in the month, various community-focused events were held. In Torre di Ruggiero, the ‘Festa del Cuoco’ brought together catering professionals, students, and local businesses to strengthen ties within the culinary sector. Additionally, the ‘Cavaliere Identitario’ event in the Rende and Cosenza areas featured the ‘Il Cibo nell’Arte’ exhibition and honored individuals for their dedication to preserving local cultural roots through gastronomic traditions.
