Edition 2025 — Feast of Saint Eusanio

In 2025, Sant'Eusanio Forconese celebrated its patron saint according to ancient tradition: the civil festival on the second Sunday of May and the religious feast on July 9, the day of Saint Eusanio's martyrdom. Processions and rites took place at the Basilica of Saint Eusanio the Martyr, in the heart of the Aterno Valley village in the province of L'Aquila, gathering the community around the figure of the saint and his relics kept in the crypt.

The 2025 edition of the Feast of Saint Eusanio the Martyr renewed the double celebration of the patron saint in Sant'Eusanio Forconese: the civil festival on the second Sunday of May and the religious feast on July 9. The celebrations, centered on the Romanesque Basilica and the crypt housing the martyr's relics, combined processions, devotion, and moments of popular gathering, confirming the strong bond of identity between the small Abruzzo town and the saint who bears its name.
