Edition 2025 — Holy Cross Festival

Saturday, May 3, 2025, Fontanellato celebrated the Patron Saint's Festival dedicated to the Holy Cross, on the usual date that local tradition reserves for the recurrence. The celebrations centred around the historic Church of Santa Croce e San Benedetto, in the square facing the Rocca Sanvitale, with the Holy Mass in honour of the patron saint and the festive participation of the community of the Parmesan village.

The 2025 edition of the Patron Saint's Festival of Fontanellato took place on Saturday, May 3, 2025, marked by devotion to the Holy Cross that has accompanied the life of the village for centuries. The liturgical celebrations in the parish church of Santa Croce e San Benedetto drew the faithful from the town and surrounding hamlets, in an event that combines the religious dimension with the popular one. The setting was the evocative historic centre of Fontanellato, dominated by the Rocca Sanvitale, in the province of Parma.
