Bacchanalia
Tiriolo · Tiriolo, Costa Viola, Calabria
16 August 2026 – 17 August 2026
On 16 and 17 August 2026, the village of Tiriolo is preparing to host the eleventh edition of "Bacchanalia, 2200 years later", the festival that celebrates the god of wine with a unique combination of culture, music and conviviality. Located on Italy's narrowest isthmus, overlooking the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas, Tiriolo will be transformed into a widespread theatre animated by concerts, debates, gastronomic tours and moments of reflection on the present. The festival draws inspiration from the Senatus Consultum de Bacchanalibus, an ancient bronze tablet found in Tiriolo in 1638, which documents the Roman ban on Dionysian cults.

Today, Bacchanalia reinterprets that millennial history, transforming it into an opportunity for encounter and sharing between roots and future.
