Edition 2025 — Battenti of Quadrelle

The 2025 edition of the Feast of the Battenti took place on Sunday, August 17, the third Sunday of the month: after the 7 AM Holy Mass celebrated by Father Dario, the battenti departed at 8 AM from Cimitile, near the "Pizzeriniello," to enter Quadrelle around 10:30 AM amidst chants and prayers. The following day, Monday, August 18, the secular program featured a concert on Via Roma by Neapolitan singer-songwriter Enzo Gragnaniello with his tour "Veleno. Mare e Ammore."

The 2025 patronal feast of Quadrelle confirmed the traditional structure that combines devotion and popular celebration. On Sunday, August 17, 2025, the third Sunday of the month, the battenti gathered at dawn for the 7 AM Eucharistic celebration; at 8 AM, the penitential procession departed from Cimitile, near the "Pizzeriniello," reaching the village around 10:30 AM, welcomed along the streets by the community. The participants, in white robes, walked through the streets of the center amidst chants and invocations until reaching the parish church, having prepared themselves in the preceding days with prayer and confession.

The organization was coordinated by the Festival Committee, chaired by Carmine Napolitano, together with the municipal administration. On the secular side, the Municipality and the Committee focused on singer-songwriter music: on Monday, August 18, on Via Roma, Enzo Gragnaniello performed, the protagonist of the "Veleno. Mare e Ammore" tour, in an event designed to enhance the territory through music, culture, and collective participation.
