Edition 2025 — Pentecost of Melfi

The 2025 edition of the Pentecost of Melfi renewed the centuries-old re-enactment of the liberation of 1528, with the assault on the walls of Porta Venosina, the French bivouac, the night ascent to Mount Vulture, and the grand Sunday procession with the statue of Saint Michael and the cart of the Most Holy Trinity pulled by oxen.

The 2025 Edition

In 2025, Melfi once again celebrated its Pentecost, one of the oldest historical re-enactments in Southern Italy. The community relived the three traditional days: the 'Vigil Conference', the scenic assault on the walls of 1528, the evocative night ascent towards Mount Vulture, and the liberation procession, featuring over a hundred re-enactors and historical groups from various Italian regions. The event, promoted by the Municipality and the Pro Loco, reaffirmed its role as a defining event for the city of Vulture and for the entire Basilicata region.
