Digital isn't just technology: it's language, vision, and strategy. And when these three dimensions intertwine, stories worth telling emerge. One of these is that of Gabriele Toma, the protagonist of the next exclusive Dialogalmente event, the Blogalmente section dedicated to interviews with those who, with their own journey, inspire and open new perspectives.
On June 8th, for the Dialogalmente section of Blogalmente, I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Crifiu, one of the most iconic bands on the Salento music scene, capable of blending Mediterranean sounds, profound lyrics, and an energy with an international feel.
🎧 Porto Badisco chiama, Morgan risponde: torna il DJ set anni '90/2000C’è un luogo nel Salento dove il tempo sembra fermarsi tra mare, stelle e musica che vibra nell’anima. Quel luogo è Porto Badisco, che anche quest’anno si prepara ad accendersi grazie a un evento che unisce memoria, energia e voglia di stare insieme.
Theater is the art of narrating life, and in Giurdignano, on August 6, 2025, the curtain will rise on a story that's both hilarious and thought-provoking: "Tutte Fije de Diu," a brilliant two-act comedy adapted and directed by Aurelia Spano, a name that has been a key figure in the local theater scene for years. The event, organized by the "Il Megalite" Cultural Association, is scheduled for 9:00 PM on Via Madonna del Rosario and promises to transform the summer evening into a moment of collective celebration.
There are those who tell stories for a living, and those who do it out of necessity. Those who turn on the camera and those who turn on their gaze. Pamela Chezzi belongs to the latter category: she has a gentle yet present voice, a soul that observes, records, and conveys. With depth. A correspondent for the Emozioni del Sud format, she is a videomaker capable of capturing the essence behind every scene.
Every September, there's an event that transcends trends and seasons. An event that evokes the spirit of the field, of football, of good sweat, and sincere smiles. It's the event with the Salesian Youth Sports Clubs, better known as PGS, which officially opens memberships for the 2025/2026 sports year from August 20th to September 30th. A short but important period to launch a new journey of sport, inclusion, and growth. Because PGS is more than just sport. It's training, it's education, it's a lifestyle.
There's a new outpost of flavor preparing to light up the Otranto summer, and it's true to say: with burning embers and the right spirit.
Actors for one night, protagonists forever. When theater becomes a dream come true in Giurdignano. There's a magic that only theater can ignite. A spark that begins timidly in the classroom and transforms into light, voice, and emotion, before an audience that becomes silent accomplices. This is what happened last night in Piazza Municipio in Giurdignano, when the fifth-grade students of the elementary school staged a play freely based on Alessandro Manzoni's masterpiece, The Betrothed.
Something extraordinary happens every time the school leaves the classroom and meets the community. It has happened—or rather, it's about to happen—in Giurdignano, where the very young students of the fifth grade elementary school are preparing to take to the stage in Piazza Municipio on Sunday, July 13th at 9:00 PM, with a theatrical performance freely based on one of the cornerstones of Italian literature: Alessandro Manzoni's The Betrothed.
There are places born with a silent yet powerful mission: to make children's eyes sparkle and adults smile. Hydruntumlandia is one of them. A name reminiscent of history and fantasy, a small universe that every summer in Otranto lights up with lights, colors, and wonder. In the heart of the city, where sport meets fun, this temporary playground has become a tradition. But calling it just a "playground" would be an understatement. Because Hydruntumlandia is a celebration of the imagination, a hymn to childhood, a collective embrace that unites families, laughter, and magic.
There are places that never age, but rather renew themselves with style. In Otranto, Marcello – Le Roy de là crepe is one of them. For years, it has been a go-to place for those seeking taste, warmth, and a touch of French elegance in the heart of Salento. Today, it writes a new chapter in its history with the opening of its new store on Viadotto Idro. This opening is not just a physical expansion, but a declaration of intent: to look forward, without ever forgetting where we started.
Get ready for a new exclusive interview. Coming soon to the blog, a chat with Alessandro Cecchi Paone: journalist, popularizer, and face of Italian TV and culture.
