Edition 2025 — Our Lady of Mount Carmel Avigliano

On July 16, 2025, Avigliano renewed the ancient rite of the ascent of Our Lady of Mount Carmel to the sanctuary on the mountain, with the six-kilometer pilgrimage, the votive candle 'cinti', and the gold-embroidered 'palii', in one of the most spectacular popular devotional festivals in Basilicata.

In 2025 as well, the community of Avigliano accompanied the statue of Our Lady of Mount Carmel along the pilgrimage towards the Sanctuary of Mount Carmel. Amidst monumental 'cinti', embroidered 'palii', and thousands of faithful, the July 16th festival confirmed its identity-building strength, awaiting the return descent on the second Sunday of September.
