Edition 2025 — Croce e Basilico
In 2025, San Paolo Albanese also celebrated Croce e Basilico on September 14th, with the service in the Greek-Byzantine rite of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross and the cultural and gastronomic events of the A.M.A. project dedicated to Arbëresh tradition.
The 2025 edition confirmed the formula that combines the Byzantine religious rite with the cultural valorisation of the Arbëresh community. The service of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, with the cross carried in procession on a bed of basil, was accompanied by the proposals of the A.M.A. — Appennino Mediterraneo Arbëresh project, including music and traditional cuisine, reaffirming the commitment to safeguarding the intangible heritage of San Paolo Albanese.
