Sagra del Pesce

Pizzo Calabro · Calabria, Italy · Late July 🟡 Partially verified

A fish festival in the town famous for inventing tartufo gelato, in the shadow of the Castello Aragonese — where Joachim Murat, King of Naples and Napoleon's brother-in-law, was imprisoned and executed by firing squad in October 1815. Fresh Tyrrhenian catch, folk performances tied to Pizzo's fishing traditions, and crowds drawn from across Calabria and neighboring Sicily.
