Baccalà di Montelparo — Feast of Saint Anthony Abbot

The Feast of Saint Anthony Abbot 2025 in Montelparo was held from January 17 to 19. The Committee of Saint Anthony, composed solely of men and chaired by Matteo Lupi, cooked the cod according to the ancient recipe, distributing it in the 'U Coppu' portion in the marquees set up in the square, with tastings managed by the youth association 'Il Chiostro'. The historic center hosted the Cod Market with crafts, hobbies, and typical products. On Sunday, January 19, at the end of the 11:00 AM Holy Mass, the statue of Saint Anthony Abbot was carried in procession to the parvis of the Church of Sant'Agostino for the blessing of animals. A novelty this year was the online booking on www.coppu.it, limited to 100 portions.
