Religious and cultural festivals in Italy and Croatia

Overview

Traditional religious patron saint festivals and cultural celebrations continue across various Italian and Croatian regions through August.

In Italy, festivities include the Festa Maggiore in Terlizzi, sea processions for San Francesco da Paola in Savelletri, and San Rocco celebrations in Rignano Garganico, Cellara, Acquapendente, and Busca. Other regional activities include the Fiera dell'Assunta in Viconovo, featuring music and gastronomy, and the Madonna della Pescheria in Portogruaro with boat processions. Giovinazzo is also preparing for the feast of Maria SS di Corsignano.

Major religious observances for the Assumption of Mary are scheduled, including a solemn Pontifical Mass presided over by Archbishop Mario Delpini at the Milan Duomo on August 15. In Croatia, the Sanctuary of Tersatto expects thousands of pilgrims for its annual Assumption celebrations, which include a triduum of spiritual preparation. Other Italian observances include the Madonna di Portosalvo in Marina di Ragusa and preparations in Orvieto and Positano.

Cultural highlights include the “El Paes de Scuprì” in Barni, the “Be Popular” theater festival in Vicenza, and special museum openings in Siena during the Ferragosto period. Local traditions such as the “mascoli” shots in Recco and the Sagra dell’Assunta in Fontanellato continue to contribute to the regional seasonal programming.
