Edition 2025 — Alfedena Patronal Feast

In the summer of 2025, Alfedena celebrated its patron saints, Santa Maria Salomè and San Pietro da Verona, on the second Sunday of July (July 13). As per secular tradition, the Alto Sangro village came alive with a procession through the historic center's alleys, festive lights, music in the square, and evening fireworks, bringing together residents, returning emigrants, and visitors to the Abruzzo National Park.

The 2025 edition of the Alfedena Patronal Feast took place on the second Sunday of July, renewing the ritual that has always accompanied the village's devotion to Santa Maria Salomè and San Pietro da Verona. After the solemn mass in the Church of Santi Pietro e Paolo, the procession carried the statues of the patrons along the stone streets of the historic center, decorated for the occasion and illuminated by festive lights.

The secular part of the festival saw the main square come alive with music and evening entertainment, while the day concluded with the traditional fireworks display above the mountain village and the peaks of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park. An event that, year after year, confirms the strong bond of the Alfedena community with its roots and the ancient Samnite village of Aufidena.
