Edition 2025 — Saint Agrippina Festival

The 2025 edition of the Saint Agrippina Festival took place in Mineo from August 23 to 31, marking a historic moment: after about fifty years, the patron saint's silver fercolo returned to being carried through the town streets on the shoulders of devotees, thanks to a new float created by the Circolo Santa Agrippina ODV. The festival opened on August 23 with a show by Gianmarco Carroccia dedicated to the Battisti-Mogol partnership and featured, among other events, a comedy show by Uccio De Santis on August 28.
