About Saint Giusta
A Feast of Faith and Tradition
The Feast of Saint Giusta is one of the most cherished events in Castelbottaccio, a municipality of a few hundred inhabitants in Basso Molise, in the province of Campobasso. It is celebrated at the end of August and is linked to the rural chapel of Saint Giusta, the destination of the traditional procession.
The Torchlight Procession
The most evocative moment of the feast is the torchlight procession in honor of the saint, which accompanies the faithful towards the chapel in an atmosphere of deep devotion. The feast is part of the Castelbottaccio summer, rich in religious and popular events.
Flavors of Basso Molise
During the celebrations, local specialties are not to be missed, including pizza scimia (cooked on the hearth and served with sausage and fresh cheese), pecorino, and scamorza, testifying to the rich gastronomic tradition of this corner of Molise.
