Italian regional craft beer and agroalimentary promotion

Overview

Italian regions continue to promote local craft beer, gastronomy, and cultural heritage through strategic investments and seasonal festivals. In Puglia, the regional government has approved 4.324 million euros to support agroalimentary, tourism, and productive excellence through a unified marketing strategy aimed at internationalization.

Gastronomy remains a central theme. While Marche hosts the Senigallia Feel Beer festival, other regional events include the Bolle di Malto craft beer festival in Biella, the Street Food Event in Folgaria, and the Bracigliano Folk Beer festival. New developments include the ‘Storie di Cibo’ event in Maniago, the Polentone festival in Molare, and the Festa della Terra in Martina Franca. Recent additions to the culinary calendar include the Sagra del Pesce in Pozzallo, which celebrates Mediterranean seafood.

Musical and cultural programming remains diverse. The 35th Festival Musicale del Mediterraneo in Genoa, held under UNESCO patronage, will run from August 28 to September 23, 2026. Organized by the Echo Art Association since 1992, the festival features over 20 international artists across 11 locations. Performances include Rwandan artist Dorothée Munyaneza, Iranian percussionist Mohammad Reza Mortazavi, the Dhoad Gitani from Rajasthan, the Irish trio The Henry Girls, and the Moroccan ensemble Abdenbi El Gadari & Gnawa Koyo. Other highlights include the Cittadella Jazz festival in Veneto, the Sora Buskers Festival, and a Ricchi e Poveri concert in Fondi.

Sports and tourism also feature prominently. The 61st Trofeo Luigi Fagioli motor racing event in Gubbio expects 258 drivers. In Campania, heritage is being promoted through historical train journeys connecting Naples to UNESCO sites, alongside the Campania Wine event in Naples on September 6-7. Seasonal tourism is further bolstered by easyJet’s autumn wine tourism in Sicily and Campania.
