Event: La Festa di Sant’Antonio Abate (also called Sant’Antuono)
Celebration in honour of the saint in different villages across the island (such as in Campagnano or Piellero in Forio). Sant’Antuono is the protector of the animals and pets and on this day many locals take their pets (but also horses, chickens, cows or pigs) to the hamlet of Piellero in Forio, where a small chapel dedicated to the saint is located. Here a special mass is celebrated around a bonfire, a purifying and well wishing ritual against evil.
