FEAST OF ST. JOSEPH - COPERTINO

A four-day feast that Cupertino celebrates for its patron saint with live music concerts and religious celebrations that take place September 16 to 19 in honour of St. Joseph.

Among other things, the parade of lights cannot be missed, one of the most beautiful in Italy. St. Joseph of Cupertino is called the Holy of Flights, because of levitation that, according to the legend, would have experienced in a state of ecstasy. His image is high in the sky, as if in flight, at the centre of our traditional illuminations of Salento. Food stalls enrich and make the old centre streets suggestive, band concerts, concerts in the centre of the squares of various artists make the festival one of the most important and interesting event in Salento.
