Feast of Saint Anthony Abbot

The 2025 edition of the Feast of Saint Anthony Abbot in Aielli (AQ) was held from Friday, January 17th to Sunday, January 19th. As per the centuries-old tradition of the Marsica region, the village lit its blessed bonfires and organized the giro delle cuttore, with large copper cauldrons used to cook cicerocchi offered to everyone. The procession with the statue of Saint Anthony and the blessing of the animals, the religious heart of the festival, were also highlights. The edition involved both Aielli Stazione and the historic center of Upper Aielli in a warm community celebration in the middle of winter.
