About Festa di Sant'Azio
Taizzano celebrates Sant'Azio
The Festa di Sant'Azio is the patronal festival of Taizzano, a hamlet in the municipality of Narni, in the province of Terni. The village honors Sant'Azio, a young peasant from Panfilia martyred on August 1, 300 AD during Diocletian's persecutions: his statue depicts him with his gaze turned to the sky, an agricultural tool in his right hand and the palm of martyrdom in his left.
Tradition, faith, and good food
The festival combines religious celebrations with entertainment and good food. A covered food stall with local specialties is open for the entire duration of the event, only closing on August 1st, the liturgical day of the Saint. There is also a charity raffle and a funfair for the little ones, making the festival an eagerly awaited event for the entire community of Taizzano and neighboring towns.
