Rombo di Fede — Motorcycle Rally for the Feast of Padre Pio

Rombo di Fede, the motorcycle rally of Grumo Nevano

In the heart of the area north of Naples, the town of Grumo Nevano hosts Rombo di Fede every September, a motorcycle rally that weaves together a passion for two wheels with devotion to Padre Pio. The event was created by the Pro Loco San Vito, in collaboration with the South Club, and is part of the festivities that the local community dedicates to the saint of Pietrelcina, who is deeply loved throughout Campania.

A rally between engines and devotion

The gathering takes place on Viale della Rimembranza, near the Pro Loco headquarters. From here, the motorcycle parade begins, featuring vintage models and meticulously maintained bikes that ride through the city streets amidst the roar of engines and the curiosity of residents. Before departure, the motorcyclists receive a blessing, a gesture that gives meaning to the event's name: the faith that accompanies the journey.

The setting of the Feast of Padre Pio

Rombo di Fede is not an isolated event, but part of the religious and popular calendar linked to Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, whose liturgical memorial falls on September 23rd.

The day concludes with a convivial buffet, in keeping with the spirit of hospitality typical of popular festivals in Campania. Admission is free and participation is open to everyone.
