The letter "C" stands for Clementine, Calabria, and Corigliano-Rossano. The three-day Clementina Festival took place in this southern Italian area from 23 to 25 October 2025. More than just a promotional showcase, the event included a conference featuring a roundtable discussion, along with networking sessions and B2B meetings between Calabrian companies and buyers from Poland, Estonia, and Lithuania. It represented a valuable opportunity to strengthen business relationships and open new market pathways.

The program involving on-site visits also sparked significant interest. It brought foreign operators and specialized press to discover five companies in the area: Ortofrutta Malagrinò, Grillo Ful, La Capricciosa, Carpe Naturam/Biosybaris, and Coop Agricola Morgia. Though these companies vary in size and strategy, they are united by their commitment to promoting the Calabrian clementine and bringing it to tables across Europe.
The following photo reportage captures the people, moments, and places of an event that aims to become a benchmark for the industry. The message is resounding: the clementine is more than just a fruit; it is the beating heart of an entire territory.
