Festa Patronale di Santa Maria Assunta
The religious and popular Ferragosto of the village of Pignone
About Festa di Santa Maria Assunta
Pignone and its patron saint
In Pignone, a village in the hinterland of the province of La Spezia, the Feast of Saint Mary of the Assumption coincides with Ferragosto, August 15th, when the Church celebrates the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It is the most important festival of the year for the community, a moment when the religious and popular dimensions merge.
Between devotion and celebration
The celebrations include religious services in the parish church and the traditional procession through the village streets, accompanied by moments of festivity and community gathering. The Ferragosto celebration in Pignone also attracts those who have emigrated and return for the occasion, renewing their ties to their roots.
In the heart of Val di Vara
Pignone, nestled between the Cinque Terre and the Val di Vara, preserves the authentic atmosphere of the Ligurian hinterland villages. The Assumption festival is the ideal opportunity to discover a town off the beaten coastal tourist paths, in the height of summer.
