From 1 to 5 September 2026, the streets, historical courtyards and small squares Cerisane return to animated with the anticipated 32nd edition of the Festival delle Serre. An iconic event that transforms for five evenings the wonderful village of presila Cosentina into a real open-air art workshop.
With rich and multifaceted programming music, theater, cinema, jazz, cultural talk, shows for boys and street performances, the Festival delle Serre renews its promise: to offer a coral and immersive experience Free admission.
Cerisano: a frame of history and suggestion
Nestled on the slopes of the Serre Cosentine and protected towards the Crati valley, the village Cerisane is a precious treasure chest of memory and architectural beauty. With its views characterized by paved alleys, stone portals carved by local workers and elegant period residences — first among all the majestic mass of Palazzo Sersale, noble Renaissance dwelling overlooking the landscape — the country offers the ideal stage for a prominent cultural festival.
During the Festival, each alley, square and amphitheatre is transformed into a space of encounter and sharing, demonstrating how the valorization of historical heritage and contemporary artistic vitality can merge into a perfect harmony.
