Alberobello · Bari · Puglia
Alberobello's patrons are two physicians, Cosmas and Damian, and their feast runs four days: 25 to 28 September, with the relics kept in the basilica named after them.
The patrons of Alberobello are Saints Cosmas and Damian, the brother physicians whom Christian tradition remembers for treating the sick without payment. Their day falls on 27 September, but the town stretches it: the feast runs from the 25th to the 28th.
The relics of the titular saints are kept in the minor basilica that carries their name, the most important church in the town of the trulli.
