Edition 2025 — San Giovanni in Val Graveglia

In June 2025, Val Graveglia celebrated San Giovanni Battista in the traditional village of Botasi, in the Municipality of Ne. Procession, religious rites, and fireworks were intertwined with the valley's typical gastronomy and exhibitions dedicated to peasant traditions.
