Edition 2025 — Our Lady of Pollino (Ascent)
In 2025, the ascent of Our Lady of Pollino once again brought together the faithful of San Severino Lucano and the Frido valley in the pilgrimage to the sanctuary on Mount Pollino, amidst bagpipes, cinte, and tarantellas, following a tradition that is an intangible heritage of Italy.
The 2025 edition of the ascent confirmed the intensity of this ancient rite. After the dawn Mass, the statue of Our Lady of Pollino began its procession from the Mother Church of San Severino Lucano to reach the sanctuary at 1537 meters, accompanied by bagpipers and the devotional tarantella. Women carried the votive cinte, and pilgrims stopped at the pisuoli along the 18 kilometers of the path, in an event deeply felt by the entire Pollino community.
