The Focaroni di San Sabino are a traditional and religious event that takes place every year, in Atripalda, on February 8, on the occasion of the celebrations for the patron saint.
Organized by the Pro Loco Atripaldese, in collaboration with the Municipality and the Parish of Sant'Ippolisto Martire, the initiative involves the entire community on the evening of 8 February. Tradition and faith are intertwined in this historic tradition with the lighting of bonfires, in Atripalda called focarone, as the name given to the event indicates. The main one, the largest one, is lit in Piazza Umberto I, with the blessing of the parish priests, but it is not the only one: there are others in different areas of the Atripaldese municipal area such as, for example, the one in the Piazzetta di San Sabino a Capo Tower.
In this evening, the warmth of the Focaroni is combined with that of getting together, in a festive atmosphere, tasting different products and typical dishes of Irpinia food and wine, in an exciting and characteristic blend of faith, rituals and flavors. read less
