Edition 2025 — Saint Anthony Abbot

In 2025, the Sant'Antonio Abate district in Campobasso also celebrated the saint on January 17th, with the blessing of breads, the lighting of the fire, the blessing of animals, and the popular evening festival with songs and 'maitunate'. A winter tradition that gathers the community each year around the rite of fire.

The Festival of Saint Anthony Abbot 2025 confirmed its traditional format in Campobasso: the morning religious rites with the blessing of breads and fire, the blessing of animals, the pilgrimage, and the evening Mass, followed by the popular festival with music, songs, and 'maitunate'. The food stalls offered typical Molise dishes, in a convivial atmosphere that has always characterized this winter festival of the capital of Molise.

Highlights
