Edition 2025 — Majje Dde Le Defenze

In 2025, the Majje Dde Le Defenze confirmed its role as an identity event for Lucito. The rite, rediscovered in 1988 and revived since 1997 by the ALTAIR Association, saw the usual preparation of the Defenza in the morning and the afternoon procession of the 'maggiaioli', to the sound of traditional instruments, to announce the arrival of May and ensure a good harvest in the Biferno valley.
