Patron saint festival In 205 days
Saint Maximus, patron of the land of the Good Friday Procession
📅 Every year, on 7 May; the Good Friday Procession was established in 1570 by Father Girolamo da Montefiore
Penne celebrates Saint Maximus on 7 May, in the cathedral dedicated to him. The Good Friday Procession, stopping at the Church of Santa Croce, was solemnly established in 1570 by the Umbrian Capuchin friar Girolamo da Montefiore, and is still deeply felt by the population today. The six districts of the historic centre compete each year in the Palio dei Rioni.
