Ready to answer the call? The Jubilee 2025 awaits you for an unforgettable journey, where faith and tradition intertwine in an embrace.

On the occasion of the 2025 Jubilee, Calabria is preparing to highlight its extraordinary spiritual and cultural heritage, focusing on two key pillars: root tourism and religious itineraries. The Region’s invitation is addressed not only to Calabrians living in the region but also to the seven million Calabrians scattered around the world, as well as to Italians abroad who wish to rediscover their connection with their origins.

A journey of faith and belonging
The Jubilee represents a unique opportunity to return home, not only to participate in religious celebrations but also to immerse oneself in the history, landscapes, and traditions of Calabria. Through dedicated events and paths, the Region seeks to welcome a growing community, proud of its roots, offering an experience that blends spirituality and a sense of belonging.

Tailored offerings for root tourists
To make the experience even more accessible, Calabria has developed a series of tourist packages specifically designed for visitors with family ties to the region. Thanks to its partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, holders of the Italea Card will enjoy discounts and benefits for travel and stays, making the return to their roots an even more special occasion.

An invitation to all Calabrians around the world
Calabria calls on its children around the world and invites them to discover or rediscover the roots that bind them to their land. Taking part in the Jubilee in Calabria means not only living a spiritual experience but also contributing to strengthening the international image of the Region, carrying a piece of Calabria wherever you go.
