In the gardens of the Sanctuary of Beato Angelo, the Parish Group cooked large quantities of mutton in copper cauldrons, serving pecorara along with sandwiches featuring local ventricina and celli ripieni. The evening, enlivened by the music of Marcello Greco and Bruno Di Risio, saw record attendance.
