About Settembre Isernino
Isernia's Festival Month
Settembre Isernino is the major cultural, musical, and gastronomic festival that enlivens Isernia, the capital of the Molise province of the same name, throughout September. Organized by the Municipality of Isernia together with Pro Loco Città di Isernia, Pro Loco Giovani, and Forum Giovani, it offers a dense and varied calendar that involves the entire city.
A Varied Program
The festival spans genres and audiences: concerts, the Fabrizio De André Award, the Tetracordo Festival dedicated to the Isernian mandolinist Giuseppe Pettine, dialect theatre, book presentations, philosophy evenings, astronomical observations, food and wine events in the historic center, and sports tournaments. A mosaic of initiatives that showcases local talents and traditions.
The Patron Saints Cosma and Damiano
The climax is the feast of the patron saints Cosma and Damiano, celebrated at the end of September with major concerts that attract a large audience. Settembre Isernino has become an identity-defining event for the community of Isernia, capable of uniting devotion, culture, and popular celebration in the heart of Molise.
