The feast is celebrated on August 6th, the day of the Transfiguration of the Lord, and is centered in the hamlet of Magnone, where the church of the Most Holy Saviour stands.

Rites and Tradition

The celebrations revolve around the solemn mass and the procession, accompanied by the musical band and the confraternities with their processional Christs, according to typical Ligurian religious tradition. The feast is also a moment of community gathering, with the usual spaces dedicated to conviviality and games.

Vezzi Portio and the Savona Hinterland

Vezzi Portio is a scattered municipality, formed by several hamlets immersed in a hilly landscape of woods and olive groves. Its location, a short distance from the coast but off the beaten track of mass tourism, makes it an ideal destination for those seeking tranquility and authenticity. The feast of the Most Holy Saviour is the moment when this small village in western Liguria gathers around its roots, on a summer day dedicated to faith and tradition.
