Edition 2025 — Festa di San Donato

In August 2025, Rotello celebrated its patron saint San Donato with the solemn novena, the historic torchlight procession along the carrera with the Saint's relic, the procession, the fair, and the parade in period costumes.

The 2025 edition of the San Donato festival confirmed the strength of an identity tradition in Rotello. The solemn novena at the end of July concluded with the evocative historic torchlight procession, during which the cart with the Saint's relic traveled the carrera di San Donato amidst flames and devotion.

On August 7th, the patron saint's day, mass, procession, fair with stalls, and parade in period costumes animated the village, drawing emigrants back from all over the lower Molise region.

Highlights

The historic torchlight procession and the parade in period costumes.
