The Gruppo Terra del Sole cultural folk association was founded in Lodi in February 1998 at the behest of Miriam Catanese and Felice Torre, who had been lovers of traditional and popular music and dance since the 1970s.
Over the course of 26 years, the Terra del Sole group has represented Italy and specifically their city abroad by participating in prestigious international folklore festivals: from Portugal to Greece, passing through Spain, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Slovakia, Czechia, the Baltic countries, Poland, Croatia, Slovenia, Bulgaria. Terra del Sole has performed on the stages of important theatres in large European cities, not forgetting the prestigious Sharija Heritage Festival in the United Arab Emirates.
The group presents three different regions which highlight clear differences in dances, songs and costumes.
