Saint Ambrose Festival - Patron Saint of Buccheri

The 2025 edition of the Saint Ambrose Festival took place on December 7th, according to the established tradition that binds the village of Buccheri to its patron saint. The most solemn moment was the mass celebrated in the Mother Church, the 1798 neoclassical building dedicated to Saint Ambrose that dominates the center of the village.

As every year, the community of Buccheri gathered around the wooden statue of the saint, an 18th-century work by Gaetano Franzese, in a day of devotion and celebration in the heart of winter in the Iblei Mountains, in the province of Syracuse.
