Edition 2025 — Saint Anthony Abbot in Envie

In 2025, the town of Envie renewed its appointment with the Saint Anthony Abbot Festival on the Sunday closest to January 17th. As per tradition, the day combined solemn mass, the blessing of animals, the distribution of caritun, and moments of conviviality in both the town center and the hamlet of Occa, confirming the vitality of a rural tradition deeply felt in the Po Valley.

The 2025 edition of the Saint Anthony Abbot Festival in Envie, in the Province of Cuneo, followed the traditional celebration format. In the town center, the faithful gathered in the chapel dedicated to the saint for mass, followed by the blessing of domestic animals and the distribution of caritun, the blessed bread.

In the hamlet of Occa, the festival took place in the parish church of Santa Maria, with the customary blessing and the traditional charity auction in support of the parish. The event confirmed the strong bond of the Envie community with its rural roots and the patron saint of animals.
