The event is scheduled for Monday 10 August 2026, setting off at 7.30 pm from Piazza Enrico Fermi.

Gasperina, a village of the Catanzaro Preserre

Gasperina is a small town in the province of Catanzaro, set among the hills that descend from the Preserre towards the Gulf of Squillace, on the Ionian side of Calabria. Its historic centre preserves the layout of the old villages, with the characteristic "rughe", the narrow alleys that climb between the houses and become the natural stage for events such as Assaggia & Passeggia. Its position, a short distance from the Catanzaro Ionian coast, combines the intimate atmosphere of the hilltop town with the closeness of the sea. The experience is enriched by music and opportunities to socialise, turning a stroll through the village into a journey through flavour, history and tradition, designed to showcase Gasperina's gastronomic and cultural heritage.
