The summer festival of the Matese village on July 26th
On July 26th, the village of Castelpizzuto, in the province of Isernia, celebrates Saint Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary and a figure deeply cherished in popular devotion. The festival falls in the heart of summer, when the small Matese municipality becomes populated again with the return of those who live far away.
The day includes a mass and a procession with the saint's effigy through the village streets. As with other religious festivals in the village, the Saint Anne celebration combines devotion with conviviality, in a community where the liturgical calendar marks the most important moments of community life.
Saint Anne's Festival is part of the cycle of festivals that mark the year in Castelpizzuto, from the patron saint Agatha in February, to Saint Dominic Abbot in May, to Saint Lucia in September. A heritage of traditions preserved by one of the least populated municipalities in Molise.
The Saint Anne's Festival returns to Castelpizzuto on July 26, 2026. The day includes a mass and a procession with the saint's effigy through the village streets, a summer event that brings together the community of the small Matese municipality.
