Saint Boniface the Martyr, co-patron of Macchia Valfortore
On May 14th, Macchia Valfortore, a municipality in the province of Campobasso located in the Fortore valley, celebrates Saint Boniface the Martyr, the town's co-patron. The parish church houses the relics of the saint, making this festival a deeply devotional event for the community.
