Edition 2025 — Madonna di Pierno
In 2025, the Ferragosto pilgrimage once again drew the faithful from San Fele and the Vulture region to the Sanctuary of Pierno, with the night vigil on August 14th and the Assumption procession on the 15th, continuing a nearly millennium-old tradition recognized as intangible heritage.
The 2025 edition confirmed the deep roots of the pilgrimage to Madonna di Pierno. On the night between August 14th and 15th, the faithful ascended Monte Pierno for the vigil, while on the Assumption day, the solemn Mass and the shoulder-borne procession of the statue took place. Many from San Fele returned from abroad to not miss the most cherished event of the village's summer.
