Edition 2025 — Saint Sebastian in Dolceacqua

In 2025, Dolceacqua also celebrated the Procession of Saint Sebastian on the Sunday closest to January 20th, with the traditional laurel tree decorated with colored wafers parading through the village in the Nervia Valley.

The 2025 edition of the Procession of Saint Sebastian confirmed the value of one of Dolceacqua's most evocative winter traditions. The community prepared the 'negie', the colored wafers, and decorated the large laurel branch carried in procession through the streets of the historic center.

At the end of the service, the faithful received the blessed branches in exchange for offerings, renewing an ancient rite that intertwines faith and identity in the heart of the Imperia hinterland.
