About Saint Lucy
Saint Lucy at the end of summer
On the first Sunday of September, the village of Castelpizzuto, in the province of Isernia, celebrates Saint Lucy. Unlike the winter observance on December 13th, in this small town in the Molise Matese region, the saint is celebrated at the end of summer, when the town is still lively with those who have returned for the holidays.

The day is marked by the mass and the procession with the saint's effigy through the streets of the center. The festival represents one of the last major community events before autumn and ideally closes the season of religious observances in Castelpizzuto.
