Edition 2025 — Saints Philip and James

In 2025, Frascati's patronal festival fell on Saturday, May 3rd. The central moment was the 10:00 AM solemn mass at the Cathedral of San Pietro, during which the Mayor offered the traditional votive candles to Saints Philip and James on behalf of the city. On that occasion, admission to the Tuscolano Museum at the Scuderie Aldobrandini was also free, during a weekend particularly rich in events across the Castelli Romani.

The 2025 Patronal Festival

On Saturday, May 3rd, 2025, Frascati celebrated its patrons with a 10:00 AM solemn mass at the Cathedral of San Pietro, culminating in the offering of votive candles by the Mayor on behalf of the entire community. As is customary, the Tuscolano Museum at the Scuderie Aldobrandini welcomed visitors with free admission.

The weekend was enriched by a related cultural event: on Sunday, May 4th, at 5:00 PM, the Scuderie Aldobrandini hosted a piano concert by Japanese pianist Shunta Morimoto to mark the 25th anniversary of the museum's opening.

It is worth noting that Saints Philip and James are also patrons of Lanuvio and Nemi, two other towns in the Castelli Romani area near Rome: May 3rd is therefore a date shared by a significant part of the territory south of the capital.
