I was asked last night (as I'm quite into Italian folk music) if I knew of any folk festivals in Italy. I had to admit that I'd not really gone into it but in my wanderings around the 'net I'd only seen references to local festivals celebrating local saints, harvests, crops etc and one in north west Italy called, if IIRC, Folkermesse which seemed to be regionally based over the summer/autumn period.

Are there any Sidmouth/Towersey like folk music festivals in Italy?

Any experience of them?

Cheers,

Darren
