Madonna delle Grazie Festival (Villanesi)

The 2025 edition of the Madonna delle Grazie Festival confirmed the vitality of a tradition deeply rooted in the Villanesi district of Francavilla al Mare. Around the neoclassical church and its park, the community gathered for religious celebrations — masses, recitation of the Rosary, and the solemn procession — and for moments of popular festivity, with orchestras, musical groups, and traditional fireworks. An event organized by the neighborhood committee with the support of residents and the Le Franche Villanesi association, guardian of the memory and care of the Madonna delle Grazie complex.
