Patron saint festival In 193 days
Saint Bartholomew and Our Lady of Pietraquaria, patrons of a town reborn after the 1915 earthquake
📅 Every year, on 27 April, with a fair on the 25th and «focaracci» bonfires the night between the 26th and 27th
Avezzano celebrates Saint Bartholomew and Our Lady of Pietraquaria on 27 April, with devotional bonfires called «focaracci» the night before; the Marian cult is documented from the 12th century, but its most important church arose from rebuilding after the 1915 earthquake.
