Edition 2025 — Feast of San Donato

In August 2025, Rotello celebrated its patron saint San Donato with the solemn novena, the historical torchlight procession along the carrera with the Saint's relic, the procession, the fair, and a parade in historical costumes.

The 2025 edition of the San Donato festival confirmed the strength of an iconic tradition in Rotello. The solemn novena at the end of July concluded with the evocative historical torchlight procession, during which the cart with the Saint's relic traveled the carrera di San Donato amidst flames and devotion.

On August 7th, the patron saint's day, the mass, procession, fair with stalls, and parade in historical costumes animated the village, drawing emigrants back from all over lower Molise.
