Festa Patronale della Madonna degli Angeli
The festival of Quiliano's patron saint at the Capuchin convent
About Madonna degli Angeli
Quiliano's Patron Saint
In Quiliano, a town in the hinterland of the province of Savona, the Festa della Madonna degli Angeli is one of the most cherished events. The devotion, linked to the figure of the Madonna as the community's patron saint, is preserved and enlivened by the Capuchin friars at their convent.
From Novena to Festival
The celebration is preceded by the novena, with the rosary and evening mass each day. In the days leading up to August 2nd, significant moments follow one another: missionary testimonies from friars from Africa, a children's festival with consecration to the Madonna and balloon release, and solemn masses presided over by the bishop.
August 2nd and the Festival Days
On the festival day, August 2nd, morning masses, vespers with Eucharistic blessing, and an evening mass accompanied by vocal ensembles take place. The programme concludes with moments of conviviality and concerts, such as that by the band "Rumpe e Streppa" from Finale Ligure. A festival that intertwines spirituality, tradition, and community life in the hinterland of Savona.
