Celebrations for the Assumption in Piani

The Assumption in Piani

The hamlet of Piani in Imperia, in Liguria, celebrates the Celebrations for the Assumption every August 15th, on the occasion of the solemnity of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It is one of the most important religious festivals of the summer, particularly felt in neighbourhood and hamlet communities.

Between Faith and Ferragosto Feast

The observance combines the religious dimension - with Holy Mass and a procession in honour of the Madonna - with the festive atmosphere typical of Ferragosto. Around the celebrations, moments of conviviality develop, with stalls, music, and initiatives that liven up the hamlet in the heart of summer.

A Community Feast

The Assumption celebrations are an occasion for residents of Piani and for holidaymakers present in the city during the summer to gather. It is the neighbourhood's feast, built by the parish community and experienced as a moment of identity and belonging.

Imperia's Ferragosto

Included in the rich summer calendar of Imperia, the Assumption feast in Piani helps to keep the city alive, even in its hamlets, far from the seafront and the centre, enhancing the religious and popular traditions of the Riviera dei Fiori.
