The patronal festival of Ferrazzano transforms into a grand itinerant performance with over a hundred participants.
In Ferrazzano, in the province of Campobasso, the patron saint is Saint Anthony of Padua, celebrated on June 13th. Here, devotion becomes a spectacle thanks to "I Miracoli di Sant'Antonio", an itinerant theatrical performance involving the entire community.
The performance stages the thirteen miracles attributed to the Saint, re-enacting them along the streets of Ferrazzano's historic center. Over one hundred participants, including actors, guides, and collaborators, bring the route to life, starting from Piazza Caduti di Marcinelle and passing through the ancient village to the climax in Piazza Spensieri. Spectators are guided in small groups, with staggered departures, to experience the narrative step by step.
The initiative is promoted by the Association "I Miracoli di Sant'Antonio โ Ferrazzano", established in 2018, and has quickly won over audiences, attracting over a thousand visitors for each edition. A musical band, food stalls, and fireworks complete the patronal festivities, which are spread over several evenings around June 13th.
