Edition 2025 — Feast of Saint Anthony of Padua

In 2025, Bolognetta celebrated its patron saint, Saint Anthony of Padua, on the usual two dates: June 13th, with solemn masses in the Mother Church and the procession of the statue through the town streets, and the second Sunday of August, in the heart of the Bolognetta Summer. The traditional Vulata di L'Ancili along Via Roma and the sacred performance "The Life of Saint Anthony of Padua - Moving Human Tableaux" in Piazza Matrice were highlights, marking moments of strong popular participation and devotion.

The 2025 Edition

In 2025, the community of Bolognetta once again renewed its devotion to its patron saint, Saint Anthony of Padua. On June 13th, the day of the liturgical feast, solemn masses were held in the Mother Church dedicated to Maria SS. del Carmelo, followed by the procession of the Saint's statue along Corso Vittorio Emanuele, Via Romano, Via Diaz, and Via Roma, accompanied by the band and the faithful.

The festivities continued on the second Sunday of August, as part of the Bolognetta Summer, featuring the characteristic Vulata di L'Ancili - the flight of the angels with two girls suspended on the cables of Via Roma singing the hymn to the Saint - and the performance "The Life of Saint Anthony of Padua - Moving Human Tableaux" in Piazza Matrice, with living tableaux animated by the town's residents.
