About Madonna della Libera (Indiprete)

In the hamlet of Indiprete in Castelpetroso, in the province of Isernia, the festival of Maria SS. della Libera is celebrated, traditionally on July 2nd and the first Sunday of September. A double religious recurrence that marks the summer of the small community, with rites, a procession, and the festival of Sciuscielle and Ciabbotta.

The Madonna della Libera of Indiprete

The Festa di Maria SS. della Libera is one of the most heartfelt events in the hamlet of Indiprete in Castelpetroso, a municipality in the province of Isernia. The devotion is expressed in two moments of the year: on July 2nd and the first Sunday of September, marking the ideal beginning and end of the hamlet's summer.

Between faith and flavors

The religious festival, with rites and a procession in honor of the Madonna, is accompanied—on July 2nd—by the Sagra "Sciuscielle e Ciabbotta", dedicated to the typical dishes of the Molisan peasant tradition. A combination of devotion and conviviality that makes this event particularly dear to the inhabitants of Indiprete.

Indiprete and Castelpetroso

The hamlet of Indiprete, a short walk from the famous Sanctuary of the Addolorata, preserves a rich popular devotion: in addition to the Madonna della Libera, the Madonna delle Grazie is also celebrated here, testifying to the religious identity of this corner of the hinterland of the province of Isernia.
