Edition 2025 — Saint Roch in Tolve

In 2025, Tolve renewed the two processions of Saint Roch, on August 16th and September 16th, from 9 AM to 8 PM, with the statue of the saint carried by the Brothers of Purgatory and tens of thousands of pilgrims along Corso Vittorio Emanuele.

In 2025, Tolve also celebrated its patron saint with the two traditional processions on August 16th and September 16th. The statue of Saint Roch, carried on the shoulders of the Brothers of Purgatory in white tunics and red cloaks, crossed Corso Vittorio Emanuele amidst a huge crowd of faithful who came from Basilicata, Puglia, and Campania, confirming Tolve as one of the main centers of devotion to Saint Roch in Southern Italy.
