Edition 2025 — Saint John Festival
The 2025 edition of the Saint John the Baptist Festival in Chianciano Terme was held from June 24 to 29, confirming the success of the event organized by the Associazione Culturale La Campana.
The opening on Tuesday, June 24, featured the Mass of Saint John the Baptist in the Collegiata Church, presided over by Cardinal Augusto Paolo Lojudice, followed in the evening by the walk and the nocturnal footrace in the historic center. The gourmet evenings in Piazzolina dei Soldati, starting at 7:00 PM, offered themes such as "Pazzi di Stinco" (Friday, June 27), "Nel paradiso della bistecca" (Saturday, June 28), and "Piatti di Campagna" (Sunday, June 29).
The highlight took place on Sunday, June 29, with the historical pageant: departure at 10:00 AM from Piazza Indipendenza, a parade of about seventy costumed participants with oxen, horses, and carriages, and arrival around 12:00 PM at the Public Gardens for the blessing of the animals, accompanied by the "Bonaventura Somma" Band.
