Tour del Sorriso 2026

Palagianese Summer meets great comedy: on July 15, the "Tour of Smiles" arrives.

On stage Tommy Terrafino, Daniele Condotta, and Gianni Cinelli

Palagiano, July 3, 2026 – Laughter, lightheartedness, and a prestigious institutional synergy mark the second event of the 2026 Palagianese Summer, promoted and organized by the Municipal Administration. On Wednesday, July 15, starting at 8:30 PM, the central Piazza Vittorio Veneto will transform into a large open-air theater to host the awaited stop of the "Tour of Smiles."

The event represents much more than just a comedy show: it is a true itinerant artistic project born to celebrate a historic milestone in our territory, namely the 30th Anniversary of the Cabaret Festival of Martina Franca (1997-2026). To celebrate this special "Year of Smiles," the Cultural Association Sirio, the historical organizer of the festival, has decided to take the energy of the festival beyond the borders of Martina Franca. The Palagianese stop thus marks a beautiful collaboration between the Municipality of Palagiano and the Cultural Activities Department of the City of Martina Franca, united under the banner of culture and quality entertainment.

Ensuring the fun will be an exceptional cast, composed of three stars of national comedy, beloved by television and online audiences:

Tommy Terrafino, the brilliant face of Made in Sud.

Daniele Condotta, a beloved actor, comedian, and content creator from Puglia.

Gianni Cinelli, a historic and unmistakable protagonist of the Zelig stage.

"Hosting a stop in Palagiano related to a cultural institution like the Cabaret Festival of Martina Franca is a great source of pride for us," comments Mayor Domiziano Lasigna. "With the Tour of Smiles, we want to give our community a night of pure carefree enjoyment, bringing nationally renowned artists to the square. Keeping these great events in the heart of our city, in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, and ensuring free access is a precise choice: we want the show and culture to be accessible to all families, to continue to let our Palagiano live and breathe."

The organizational team is already at work to best prepare for the welcome of citizens and visitors.
