The star of the Festha Manna events, Tuscan singer-songwriter Francesco Gabbani is ready to take the stage for the highly anticipated concert under the "Note sotto la Torre" banner, which will liven up the city of Torre on Saturday, May 23, starting at 9:30 pm. The two-time winner of the Sanremo Music Festival—in 2016 in the Newcomers section with the song "Amen" and the following year among the Big Artists with "Occidentali's Karma"—will perform his vast repertoire of hits, including "Viseversa," "Tra le granite e le granate," and "Per una vita."
The star of the celebrations in honor of the Holy Martyrs of Turrita is one of many artists who joins the ranks of other great singers who, in recent years, have thrilled audiences in Piazza Colombo, such as Noemi, Le Vibrazioni, the Modena City Ramblers, and Alex Britti. These names join the equally high-caliber offerings of the Pasquetta Turritana festival, which has enjoyed extraordinary success with The Kolors and, in recent years, with Max Gazzè and the Orchestra Jazz della Sardegna, with Rezophonic and Tazenda.
An artistic journey that has established Porto Torres as a host to major events, engaging thousands of people with significant economic and regional benefits. The rich and varied calendar, developed by the municipal administration in collaboration with local associations, businesses, and the Pro Loco (tourist association), also features a series of events—over thirty initiatives—connected to tradition and the local culture. These include the traditional Fish Festival (Sunday, May 31st), the evocative Fisherman's Regatta (Saturday, May 23rd), the San Gavino Fair (May 22nd to 25th), and the captivating Palio di Santu Bainzu, scheduled for June 13th. The program is rounded out by folk performances, cultural and local festivals, historical reenactments, and numerous opportunities to savor the traditional flavors of Porto Torres cuisine.
