Edition 2025 — Saint Anthony Abbot

In January 2025, Civitella San Paolo celebrated the Saint Anthony Abbot Festival on the Sunday closest to January 17th, in Piazza San Giacomo. As per tradition, the day was marked by the Saint Anthony Fire at dawn, Holy Mass, the procession with the statue of the Saint, and the blessing of the animals, with an animal exhibition and the flavors of grilled meats and fresh cheese in the afternoon.

The Saint Anthony Abbot Festival confirmed its role as a key identity event for the Municipality of Civitella San Paolo, in the Lazio region, in 2025. At dawn, the Saint Anthony Fire was lit in Piazza San Giacomo, following the ancient symbolism linked to the Saint.

After Holy Mass, the procession with the statue of the patron saint of animals passed through the village, accompanied by knights, the Sisters of Our Lady of Sorrows, and the Brothers of Saint James, concluding with the blessing of the people and their animals. In the afternoon, the animal exhibition and typical products—grilled meats and fresh cheese—closed the day in a festive atmosphere.
