Saint John the Baptist, patron of the town of the 2,000-ducat ransom
📅 Every year, on 24 June, with the Festa dei Gigli
Casavatore celebrates Saint John the Baptist on 24 June with the Festa dei Gigli; in 1678, when several hamlets of the Neapolitan countryside were put up for sale, the locals paid a 2,000-ducat ransom to avoid being enfeoffed.
