In 47 days Patron saint festival
4 December 2026
Friday 4 December
Montecatini-Terme · Pistoia · Tuscany
On 4 December Montecatini Terme celebrates Saint Barbara, its patron: a winter date, when the spa town belongs to its own people.
The patron of Montecatini Terme is Saint Barbara and her day falls on 4 December.
It is a winter feast, far from the spa season that made the town's name and turned it into a film set too, from Zeffirelli to Monicelli. The patron's day Montecatini keeps for itself.
