Edition 2025 — Festival of Fire

In 2025, Grello once again celebrated its Festival of Fire, with the Night of Fire on the eve of Saint John. The three districts San Giovanni, Sant'Angelo, and San Donato raced with torches and tregge loaded with burning incije around the castle walls, culminating in the pyromusical show and the rituals on June 24th.

The 2025 edition confirmed the Festival of Fire as the most iconic tradition of the hamlet of Grello, in Gualdo Tadino (PG). On the night between June 23rd and 24th, the eve of Saint John the Baptist, the three districts — San Giovanni, Sant'Angelo, and San Donato — staged the ritual race with torches and tregge loaded with burning incije, running around the ancient castle walls. The festival, of probable pagan origins linked to the summer solstice, concluded with the pyromusical show and, on June 24th, with the solemn Mass and procession.
