Edition 2025 — Saint Rita Festival

In 2025, the Saint Rita Festival in Gavignano Sabino fell on Sunday, May 25th, the last Sunday of the month according to local custom. The village of Forano, in the province of Rieti, renewed the devotional appointment dedicated to the saint of Cascia with religious services, a procession through the village, and the participation of the local brass band.

The 2025 edition of the Saint Rita Festival took place in Gavignano Sabino, a village in the Municipality of Forano (province of Rieti, Lazio), on the traditional date of the last Sunday of May, Sunday, May 25, 2025.

As every year, the day combined the religious dimension with the community one: the mass in honor of the saint, the blessing of the roses, and the procession through the streets of the village, accompanied by the local brass band, brought together the inhabitants of Gavignano and the neighboring villages of the Bassa Sabina.

The festival remains one of the fixed appointments in the Forano calendar, which also features Saint Macarius on the first Sunday of May, the Water Festival in June, the summer Beer Festival, and the Pasta Festival on August 14th.
