On 1 August, the Favoni, in the morning the firing of small mortars, the botte scure, announces the opening of the patronal feast; at dusk the bells of the Chiesa di Santa Maria Maggiore, where the chapel of the Assunta is found, ring out in celebration and give the signal, throughout the valley, for the lighting of the Favoni, great ritual fires. On 14 August the women parade in costume with the palmentieri, special baskets with wicker frames on which the pizzelle, the traditional sweet, are sewn, gifts of the community to the protectress whose proceeds go as an offering for the patronal feast; 15 August is the solemn feast of Santa Maria Assunta in cielo (Our Lady of the Assumption into heaven), patroness of the village.
On 16 August, the feast of San Rocco, the festivities close at midnight with the ballo della pupa, a papier-mâché female figure covered with fireworks that explode during the dance, to the sound of the accordion. The municipality also holds the Chiesa di San Nicola di Bari, the Chiesa di San Maurizio and the Eremo di San Giovanni all'Orfento.
