In 325 days Patron saint festival
8 September 2027
Wednesday 8 September
Albissola Marina · Savona · Liguria
On 8 September Albissola Marina celebrates Our Lady of Concord, in the town where ceramics ended up under your feet, along the artists' seafront.
The patroness of Albissola Marina is Nostra Signora della Concordia, Our Lady of Concord, celebrated on 8 September in the church that bears her name.
The town lives on ceramics: in May there is the Maiolica Festival, organised together with the municipalities of Albisola Superiore, Savona and Celle Ligure, and through the streets runs the Museo Diffuso Albisola, with works you come across as you walk — from the Artists' Underpass to historic villas such as Villa Faraggiana.
