A rich program of events for Spring in Romangia that opens today, Friday 4 April. The classic event offers in this 2025 edition a packed program of cultural, musical and religious initiatives. The highlight will be the concert of the First of May, which will bring to the stage of the Parco Vita Mr. Rain, beloved rapper and producer of the Italian and international scene. But Spring in Romangia will be much more, with the spectacular equestrian carousel of the Corsa alla Stella, the numerous initiatives of the Maggio dei Libri and the meetings at the Palazzo Baronale, the celebrations of the Marian Month, the tribute to Moscato Doc and all the scheduled events that will liven up the city until May 30. The event, which is part of the project “Culture and Traditions-Destination Sorso” - financed by the Fondazione di Sardegna, with the contribution of the Sardinia Region, was presented yesterday (Thursday 3 April), in the conference room of the Palazzo Baronale, by the mayor Fabrizio Demelas, the councilor for Tourism Federico Basciu, the guardian father of the Capuchin convent, Father Danilo Pischedda, and the manager Nicolina Cattari.
"This year too, the Administration, despite the financial difficulties that grip all municipalities, did not want to give up on offering the Community and visitors to our territory a program of quality cultural and entertainment events for the spring season worthy of the name of the City of Sorso - said Mayor Fabrizio Demelas. Thanks to the participation and collaboration of the Convent of the Friars Minor Capuchin, the Pious Association of the Blessed Virgin of Noli Me Tollere, numerous other cultural and recreational associations in the area and all those who participate every year with the Administration in organizing the program of events, we have managed to put together a very valid and rich offer that I believe can satisfy the tastes and expectations of a very large audience ."
"In these years we have learned that teamwork is essential for the success of initiatives - added Councilor Federico Basciu - and that there can be no promotion of the territory if there is no collaboration between all the actors in the territory, public, private, associations and citizens. The calendar of this edition is the result of this signergy and is designed for a varied public, with initiatives for families and children, young and old. In addition to the now traditional events, new this year are the musical and entertainment event that will take place at the Park of Via Europa and the return of the Corsa alla Stella in via Cappuccini, together with the tribute to Moscato di Sorso , with an event entirely dedicated to our Gold of Romangia".
"The religious events within the Primavera in Romangia program represent the identity and great devotion of the Community of Sorso, and not only, to the Blessed Virgin of Noli me Tollere - underlined Father Danilo Pischedda , Rector of the Convent of the Capuchin Friars - and this year, the Jubilee year, we will take the simulacrum of the Virgin out of the Sanctuary to visit the city during the procession that takes place every year on May 26. A special year - added Father Danilo - because we are also celebrating 75 years since the coronation of the Blessed Virgin of Noli me Tollere by the Vatican Chapter , an anniversary for which we have asked for plenary indulgence for those who visit our Sanctuary and for all the faithful who venerate the Virgin". Meanwhile, for the beginning of the Marian Month, the reopening of the Sanctuary is expected, "closed since last year for restoration work and the recovery of the original vault - explained the Rector of the Convent - just as we are preparing for the subsequent start of the works planned in other lots of the project of the Municipal Administration inside the church and on the external square, works that will give a new structure and value to the entire neighborhood, a sign of a union of all the souls of the city that meet through the cult and veneration of Mary".
