The village celebration

On Saturday, November 14, 2026, the municipality of Gildone renews its commitment to the tenth edition of The Giro di San Martino. The event transforms the urban layout of the historic center into a sensory journey dedicated to highlighting the food and wine excellence of Molise. The village's ancient cellars, witnesses to a historical rural stratification, open their doors to welcome visitors and residents in a celebration that blends local identity with the seasonal rhythms of autumn.

A journey through flavors and traditions

Starting at 7:00 PM, the itinerary winds through the alleys of the historic core, where the culinary offerings focus on traditional gastronomic specialties. The event serves as a synthesis of the conscious consumption of regional wine products and the rediscovery of ancient crafts and rural customs, restoring the central importance of the conviviality typical of Saint Martin's celebrations.

Musical entertainment

The artistic program accompanies the entire evening through a transition of styles and genres. The opening is entrusted to the group I Recùcce & Emidio, whose repertoire of traditional folk songs and dances serves as an identity-building glue for participants, recalling ancestral sounds linked to local folklore. This phase of ethnographic entertainment sets the stage for the second part of the evening.

The musical selection curated by Fraky A DJ & Luca Codipietro marks the epilogue of the day, offering a dynamic conclusion in the heart of the village.
