Festino Experience
A unique experience between history, faith, and timeless beauty.
On July 14th, Palermo comes alive
Every year, on July 14th, Palermo celebrates one of the city's most cherished and engaging festivals: the Festino di Santa Rosalia. It’s not just a simple celebration, but a moment that unites the sacred and the popular, transforming the city into a vast open-air theater.
Santa Rosalia, the "Santuzza," is the revered figure who, according to tradition, saved Palermo from the plague of 1624. Her relics, found on Mount Pellegrino, ended the epidemic, and since then, every July 14th, the city honors her with an event that spans centuries, filled with spirituality, emotion, and a deep sense of identity.
