The Rione Balsami of Solofra, with the collaboration of the Proloco Solofra, renews the appointment with "A Carcar e Sant'Antuono", the traditional event that lights up the night of Friday 17 January to celebrate Sant’Antonio Abate.
Some testimonies tell that, since ancient times, the night of January 17 is celebrated Sant’Antuono Abate, the Holy monk depicted with a pig and a sprig of ebony, guilty of having taken fire from the underworld for the benefit of men.
For this reason, on the night of January 17, the farmers illuminated the territory with thousands of small bonfires that brought with them the meaning of a beneficial, purifying and destructive force at the same time.
Now in its XXX Edition, the Festival in honor of Sant'Antonio Abate, in addition to the lighting of the traditional bonfire, will see the participation of two "Zeze" groups and popular groups with whom to dance to the rhythm of folk music, which will officially open the 2025 Solofra Carnival.
In addition, the evening will be enriched by numerous food stands where you can taste typical local dishes, prepared following ancient recipes of the Solofra tradition.
The "In Au - Incontra Autismo" Association will help in the preparation of the dishes. A beautiful initiative to share moments of inclusion and solidarity through culinary tradition.
