Edition 2025 — San Basilio Magno

On June 14, 2025, Salcito celebrated its patron saint San Basilio Magno with a solemn mass, a procession, and the traditional blessing of taxis from Rome, in a ritual that connects the town with its emigrants.

The 2025 edition of the San Basilio Magno festival reaffirmed the strength of a unique tradition in Salcito. Alongside the religious celebrations — solemn mass and procession of the saint's statue — the blessing of taxis from Rome, where many Salcito residents worked as taxi drivers, was renewed.

An event of great community value that, every June 14th, brings back to the village those who emigrated, reconnecting the ties of an inland Molise community proud of its roots.

Highlights

The blessing of taxis and the procession of the patron saint.
