Patronal Feast of Saint Hilary

The 2025 edition of the Patronal Feast of Saint Hilary took place on January 13, 2025, at the Teatro Regio of Parma. The ceremony for the Saint Hilary Award and Civic Merit Awards presented the Gold Medals to the cooperative COLSER and the writer Paolo Nori.

Seven Civic Merit certificates and several Special Mentions were also awarded to organizations, associations, and citizens who distinguished themselves in the fields of work, culture, and solidarity. The ceremony was opened by the Opera in Carcere Choir, directed by Maestro Gabriella Corsaro, with a piece by Rino Gaetano. As per tradition, a chair in the front row was left empty in memory of all women victims of violence.
