Edition 2025 — Fires of Saint Anthony

In January 2025, Vastogirardi once again renewed the appointment with the Fires of Saint Anthony the Abbot: the blessing of animals and fire, the lighting of bonfires in the districts at sunset, and conviviality around the flames with typical products from Alto Molise, in one of the village's most deeply rooted winter celebrations.

The 2025 edition confirmed the traditional structure of the festival: the gathering in the village of Vastogirardi, the visit to the historical heritage of the town, the blessing of animals and fire, and the lighting of bonfires in the districts at sunset. Around the fires, the community gathered for the tasting of local products, according to the custom that links Saint Anthony the Abbot to the winter cycle and the peasant culture of Alto Molise.

Programme

Program in line with tradition: gathering in the village, blessing of animals and fire, lighting of bonfires in the districts at sunset, and tasting of typical products around the flames.
