Patron saint festival In 227 days
Our Lady of Grace, patron of the town of the Sibiliana Tower
📅 Every year, on 31 May
Petrosino celebrates Our Lady of Grace on 31 May, in the church dedicated to her.
Occupying a stretch of Sicily's western coastline, Petrosino sits directly between the larger municipalities of Marsala and Mazara del Vallo. Known locally by its Sicilian name, Pitrusinu, the town falls under the administration of the Trapani province.
Home to exactly 7,760 residents, the municipality has a brief civic history. It only became an independent administrative entity in 1980, formed by separating parcels of land from its two larger neighbors to establish a new local government.
