From 26 to 28 December 2025, music, tradition and beauty come together in Paganico Sabino, Castel di Tora and Collalto Sabino.
The Turano Valley comes alive once again with a rich calendar of musical events. From 26 to 28 December 2025, the Borghi del Turano will host a series of concerts dedicated to the Christmas season.
This initiative is part of the project “Borghi Uniti per la Rigenerazione Culturale e Sociale della Valle del Turano”, which places culture at the centre as a catalyst for community engagement, participation and the enhancement of the local territory.
