The Sponz Fest is an event lasting several days, established in 2003 with a precise aim, already indicated by the title it was given. 

The word "Sponz" in fact comes from sponzare, which literally means "to soak" and, therefore, this event aims to soak up music and stories, become saturated with culture, immerse oneself for days among the people and celebrate.

Sponz Fest is organised with the active collaboration of the Municipality of Calitri, the pivotal centre of the project, with the municipalities of Sant'Andrea di Conza, Conza della Campania, Andretta, Cairano, Bisaccia and Sant'Angelo Lombardi, and the echo of its success is now of national importance. The latter is thanks to a rich programme, different every year, developed by the creative genius of the festival's artistic director, Vinicio Capossela, a singer-songwriter, poet and writer, who has a deep bond with this land, being the son of Irpinian parents.

Music remains one of the most important aspects of the event, boasting the presence of well-known artists every year, but during the festival, the relationship with traditions, landscape, culture, environment and art is similarly enhanced, with proposals that enrich both the creative offer and relationships. Each edition is also dedicated to a theme, with the intention of inventing and reinventing an opportunity to bring the community together each time. In the first edition, for example, the festival focused on marriage rituals, but in the various other editions, the themes of union, the relationship with the land and encounters with other cultures were chosen, among others.

Thanks to the enthusiasm of the community and the leadership of all those who make the travelling festival possible, the Sponz Fest proves to be a triumph every year, one of the most popular artistic and cultural events in the South, consecrating Calitri and Irpinian culture in Italy.
