The 2025 Festa di Sant'Ercolano celebrated the patron saint of Perugia on the weekend following the dies natalis of November 7th, with solemn masses in the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, animated by city choirs and celebrated in the presence of civil and academic authorities.

The celebrations took place on the weekend following the dies natalis on November 7th, with the solemn mass on Saturday and the main Eucharistic celebration on Sunday, presided over by the Archbishop and animated by city choirs, in the presence of civil and academic authorities and the Sodalizio di San Martino. A moment of deep reflection and identity for the Perugian community.
