Festa dell'Assunta
The Ferragosto of faith in the upper Molise village
About Assunta a Pettoranello
The Assumption in the heart of August
In Pettoranello del Molise, a village in the province of Isernia, the Festa dell'Assunta (Feast of the Assumption) is celebrated on August 15th, the day of the Assumption of Mary. It is one of the central events of the Pettoranello summer, held in Piazza Guglielmo Marconi, the heart of the village's life.
Faith and summer festival
The recurrence combines the religious dimension — Marian celebrations and procession — with the village's summer festival, during the period when Pettoranello welcomes back emigrants and many Molise natives from around the world who are tied to the village. Ferragosto thus becomes an occasion for intergenerational encounters, blending devotion, music, and piazza conviviality.
A community that comes together
Along with the winter festival of the patron saint San Sebastiano, the midsummer Assumption marks the calendar of Pettoranello del Molise's most cherished events. It is a time when the small upper Molise village shows its most vibrant and welcoming face.
