In Capoliveri, every holiday is an opportunity to enjoy unique experiences, including history, nature, events and entertainment. The village, perched on a hill with a breathtaking view of the sea, offers a calendar full of events, a lively evening life and the opportunity to explore fascinating places, including its ancient underground mines.
Events and traditions
During the summer, the main square and the characteristic small squares of the old town centre become the beating heart of concerts, theatre performances, literary encounters and folklore events. Among the most anticipated events are:
- The Festa del Cavatore (in spring), a tribute to the country's mining roots.
- The re-enactment of the Legend of the Innamorata (14 July), an evocative costume procession that lights up the beach with hundreds of torches.
- The Grape Festival (beginning of October), which transforms Capoliveri into an open-air theatre, with the districts competing for the best scenography inspired by the grape harvest and farming traditions.
Those who enjoy unusual experiences can visit the Ginevro underground mine, Europe's largest magnetite mine. Here, accompanied by expert guides, you descend to -52 metres below sea level, through tunnels carved into the rock and ancient equipment, to discover a fascinating underground world.
In the heart of the town, the Museo del Mare tells another extraordinary story: that of the wreck of the Polluce, a ship that sank off Capoliveri in the mid-19th century, whose treasure was recovered after a careful salvage operation. The museum houses precious finds, historical documents and organises interactive events for adults and children.
Activities for the whole family.br>
or the youngest children, the Tuscan Archipelago National Park organises creative and educational workshops at the Mola site at the foot of Capoliveri, while the Museo del Mare offers theatrical and interactive experiences.
After sunset, the town's nightlife lights up with bars and pubs, perfect for a drink with friends. For those who love to dance, there is the Mandel Club in Morcone, one of two discotheques on the island.
Capoliveri is a destination that combines culture, adventure and recreation, making every holiday an unforgettable experience.
