Edition 2025 — Madonna della Campana

In 2025, the Madonna della Campana Festival returned on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 27 and 28, following the liturgical calendar linked to Easter. Organized by the Maria SS. Annunziata Parish with the festival committee, it combined Easter joy with the veneration of the Co-Patroness, featuring the procession of the statues toward the sanctuary on the hill, the corteges of the Vergineddhe and Ancileddhi, brass bands, and the traditional pyrotechnic torchlight parade.

Two days of devotion and tradition

Faithful to a tradition that the people of Casarano have guarded for generations, the 2025 edition renewed the bond between the festival and Easter. The religious program, curated by the Maria SS. Annunziata Parish, included Holy Masses at the Mother Church and the sanctuary on the Campana hill, with the solemn translation of the Protectors' statues.

The streets of the center came alive with the procession accompanied by the brass band, the corteges of the Vergineddhe in white dresses and the Ancileddhi, and the traditional songs of the choir. Illuminations framed the evenings, while the stop at the Cavamonti votive shrine hosted the characteristic pyrotechnic torchlight parade. On Monday, according to the "campaneddhra" custom, many families gathered in the countryside for the traditional outdoor lunch.
