Feast of Saint Liberata
The most heartfelt festival in Pizzone, in the heart of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park
About Saint Liberata
Saint Liberata, the festival at the heart of Pizzone
Among the most cherished celebrations in Pizzone — a village of a few hundred inhabitants in the province of Isernia, set within the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park — is the festival in honor of Saint Liberata, celebrated on June 10th. Although not the official patron saint (the patron is Saint Nicholas of Bari), Saint Liberata is the object of deep devotion, and her festival is the one that most unites the community.
Between Faith and Village Festival
The day begins with the Holy Mass; afterwards, the statue of the saint is carried in procession through the village streets, in a parade that also sees the participation of faithful from nearby towns, particularly from Scapoli. A characteristic fair of local products is set up in the main square, and the day is enlivened by musical performances, in an atmosphere that blends religious solemnity with the joy of a village festival.
A Village in the Park
Pizzone is a gateway to the Molise side of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, a land of beech forests, bears, and unspoiled nature. The festival of Saint Liberata thus becomes an opportunity to discover an authentic mountain village in Molise, far from mass tourism, and the flavors of its tradition.
