The Ghironda is the International Festival of Arts and Popular Culture of the Five Continents. It was established in 1995 in Martina Franca, with the intention of attracting the attention of the public and tourists to the historical sites of the southern Italian region of Apulia and to facilitate exchanges of music, art and culture from around the world.

The festival would meet three conditions: enhancing the old part of Martina Franca, bringing various forms of art from the world and local traditions and involve young people. The choice of name was oriented on a musical instrument popular in the Middle Age, the hurdy-gurdy, “ghironda” in Italian, which embodies the verb “girare” (to turn), the distinguishing feature of the itinerant festival, and music, considered as the only universal language. The festival is still organized by the Ghironda Association since 1995. It aims to increase ambitions and shows in several cities of Apulia. Just one city was involved in 1995 whereas 14 municipalities are now involved. The first edition of the Ghironda Festival lasted 2 days, now it lasts 9 days. It attended by over 390 artists from all over the world with over 1,200 events offered to 2 million viewers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ghironda Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
