320th anniversary of the discovery
The 2025 edition of the Festa Grande of Capurso took place from August 29 to September 7, celebrating the 320th anniversary of the discovery of the sacred image of the Madonna del Pozzo. After the prelude of the 'Bassa Banda' parades through the city streets, the lighting of the illuminations and the procession of the Madonna's Painting from Largo Piscino to Piazza Umberto officially opened the festivities on Friday, August 29, followed by the concert of the Grande Orchestra Italiana.
On Saturday, August 30, the long-awaited 'Pozzo di Stelle' pyromusical show took place, while on Sunday, August 31, the day of the solemnity, the solemn procession of the Sacred Image was held, featuring the Triumphal Float, the historical pageant, and midnight fireworks. The calendar concluded with the historical re-enactment of the discovery and, in Piazza Gramsci, shows by Uccio De Santis (September 1) and the Gemelli di Guidonia (September 7), crowning ten days of devotion and popular celebration.
