Edition 2025 — Diavolata of Adrano

In 2025, the Holy Week of Adrano was celebrated from Palm Sunday (April 13) to Easter Sunday (April 20). As every year, the Diavolata and the Angelicata were performed in Piazza Umberto I before thousands of spectators who arrived from all over Sicily, also repeated in an evening version with the evocative lighting of the Norman Castle.

The 2025 Edition

In 2025, the Easter rites of Adrano followed their centuries-old script: from the Living Stations of the Cross on Palm Sunday to the Diavolata on Easter Day, April 20. In Piazza Umberto I, devils, Death, Humanity, and the Archangel Michael re-enacted the eternal struggle between Good and Evil from the text by Father Anselmo Laudani, followed by the Angelicata and A Paci. The performance, staged at noon and repeated in the evening, attracted a large audience from all over the island as per tradition, confirming Adrano as one of the most beloved destinations for Sicilian Holy Week.
