Edition 2025 — Processione dei Cornuti
Processione dei Cornuti 2025
St. Martin's Eve 2025 brought the ancient ritual of the Processione dei Cornuti back to San Valentino in Abruzzo Citeriore. On Monday, November 10, 2025, from 7:30 PM to 11:30 PM, the procession set off from Largo San Nicola to traverse the village alleys. Men paraded ringing cowbells and carrying horns like relics, chanting the songs of the Congrega, while children followed with lanterns, asking for sweets from house to house.
The evening concluded with the spectacular danza della pupa amidst fireworks and the tasting of spezzatino alla cornuta accompanied by local wines, confirming the vitality of one of the most original folk traditions in Abruzzo.
