The groups that will be coming to Quartu next July for the 41st edition of Sciampitta, the international folklore festival organized by the Città di Quarto group, were revealed today. This will be a debut in the city for all of them. They include groups from Argentina, Portugal, Peru, and Friuli, in addition to groups from Quartu and other parts of the island. The program will mirror last year's, with a People's Mass in the basilica, followed by a ceremony at the war memorial in Piazza Sant'Elena, and a parade with the participating groups. This will be followed by evening performances on the stage set up in the square in front of the Town Hall.

Sciampitta will also return under the stars with its dances at Sa Dom'e Farra. Meanwhile, next week, Quartu will become the folk capital for Cioff, a meeting bringing together representatives of Italian festivals. The event is scheduled for Friday the 17th, Saturday the 18th, and Sunday the 19th. The three-day event aims to coordinate cultural exchanges and the mobility of international folk groups, schedule the arrivals and departures of ballets from around the world, strengthen the network of Italian festivals and their collaboration, and promote mutual understanding as a tool for peace and brotherhood. The Città di Quarto association will guide delegates in discovering local traditions, including customs and traditions, artisanal and musical traditions, coastal landscapes, and historical sites, including meetings at the Hotel Califfo and excursions throughout the area.

Delegates from Agrigento, Apiro, Aviano, Bolotana, Buja, Castiglione del Lago will be present, as well as Gorizia, Ittiri, Macerata, Moliteno, Roccalumera, Sennori, Tarcento, Tempio Pausania, Trevisio, and Vignarello/Rome.
