Dive cliff diving competition, agreement renewed for another three years. The show will be held on September 24th. Rejected the onslaught of Sardinia and Sicily
from Vito Fatiguso
Another three years of Red Bull Cliff Diving in Puglia. An intense show made of breathtaking dives from a platform installed on the cliff of Polignano a mare. After a long confrontation with the organizers of the World Series, the city of Domenico Modugno reappears again thanks to the unique charm between sea and rock. The appointment scheduled for the weekend of September 24, 2022 when the only Italian stage will be held. This is a confirmation after the double appointment of 2021 (with the championship final) which entrusted Polignano with the “recovery” operation imposed by the cancellation of the final show in Baku due to the ongoing health emergency in Azerbaijan.

Polignano a Mare, breathtaking dives
The last resistance of the Red Bull Cliff Diving managers fell when an agreement was reached on logistics and hospitality. In fact, due to the double appointment in 2021 there was a generalized increase in prices for accommodation and catering. But the intention, already formalized, to proceed with agreements to improve the economic standards of hospitality. The news was in the air even after the confrontation with the head of department Aldo Patruno.
Polignano, the European home of Red Bull diving
We are happy to have won the trust of the organizers – says Domenico Vitto, mayor of Polignano a Mare – because our city has the opportunity to continue on the path of international promotion. Images of Red Bull Cliff Diving are seen all over the world and videos on social media talk about our community. So I thank the Puglia Region and the local trade associations inviting them to work to reap the benefits of tourism promotion throughout the year.
In fact, just browse the event website to understand the media coverage of the event. In the presentation of the 2021 final it is written: Summer in the beautiful city of Polignano a Mare, in Puglia, now rhymes with Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, which in its 11 years of life spent in these parts 7 times, making it, in fact, the European home of the discipline … The platforms at 27 and 21 meters high will again be waiting for the divers, positioned, as has become tradition, on a citizen’s terrace. Thousands and thousands of spectators of all ages will not miss a second of action, bewitched by the epic dives of cliff divers, but also attracted by the culinary wonders of the place, from mozzarella to ice cream, passing through delicious raw fish. Confirmation of Puglia was not taken for granted. For some time there have been other regions, such as Sardinia and Sicily, which have applied to become partners of the event. We will always be available to improve – concludes Vitto – in the interest of the whole event.
