The 28th edition of the Kaulonia Tarantella Festival, themed ‘Suoni di Pace’ (Sounds of Peace), is scheduled to take place in Caulonia, Reggio Calabria, from August 19 to 22. Under the artistic direction of Mimmo Cavallaro, the festival is dedicated to the memory of Angelo Frammartino, a local cooperative worker killed in Jerusalem in 2006.

The event aims to foster dialogue and community through folk music and Mediterranean culture. The program includes various musical performances, workshops, and cultural discussions. Recent updates indicate the festival will also offer free musical lessons on traditional instruments such as the tamburello, organetto, and lira calabrese, with artists like Dolcenera performing Calabrian traditional songs.
