Patronal Feast of the Madonna delle Grazie

The 2025 festival in Minturno

The festivities in honor of Maria SS. delle Grazie took place from August 21 to September 1, 2025, according to the traditional calendar leading to the solemnity of the first day of September. The parish priest, Father Cristoforo Adriano, had invited the community to prepare with acts of charity, with a special thought for the fishermen of the coast, historically devoted to the patron saint.

The popular highlight was the 19th edition of Minturno Musica Estate, on Sunday, August 31 at 9:15 PM in Piazza Portanova, with free admission. On stage, accompanied by the orchestra conducted by maestro Michele Pecora, performers included Marcella Bella, Mietta, Chiara Galiazzo, Maninni, Gianni Fiorellino, Antonella Bucci, Verdiana, Francesco Boccia, Giuliano dei Notturni, Anonimo Italiano, and I Romans. The evening, under the artistic direction of Pasquale Mammaro, was presented by Dario Salvatori with Ilenia De Sena; the Minturno d'Autore 2025 award went to the Neapolitan singer-songwriter Andrea Sannino.

The festivities closed on Monday, September 1st at 9:30 PM, again in Piazza Portanova, with a concert by Michele Pecora and his band, crowning the solemn day dedicated to the city's patron saint.
