Edition 2025 — Fòcara of Soleto
The first edition of the Fòcara of Saint Anthony the Abbot in Soleto was held on Friday, January 17, 2025, in the Industrial Zone, near Via Martano. The evening began with the blessing of the bundles and, starting at 7:00 PM, with the lighting of the great bonfire built from olive tree prunings.
The event revived the ancient custom of bonfires lit in various neighborhoods of the town in past decades, bringing them together into a single communal Fòcara. The lighting was accompanied by a concert from the Allegra Compagnia Cantante, food stalls with local products, and a small funfair. The event was organized by the Pro Loco APS with the patronage of the Municipality of Soleto.
