Fanoje di San Giuseppe

The 2025 edition of the Fanoje di San Giuseppe took place on March 18th in the heart of the historic center of Monte Sant'Angelo, renewing the ancient rite that marks the transition from the cold season to the mild one. Bonfires were lit in the main points of the village: at 7:00 PM in Piazza de Galganis, at 7:15 PM in Piazza San Francesco and Piazza Mario di Leo, and at 7:30 PM in Largo Dauno.

The evening combined a gastronomic route featuring traditional Gargano flavors, the traveling performance of La Pacchianella, and, at 8:00 PM in Largo Dauno, a meeting with the regional and national fire network. The grand finale, at 8:30 PM in Largo Dauno, featured folk music by Folk e pastorizia and I Trillanti. Each neighborhood had prepared its own stack of wood, logs, and old objects to burn, according to tradition.
