December 10, 2025, Cappella della Madonna di Monteserico

The Chapel of the Madonna di Monteserico, located on the esplanade of the ancient castle, is a small rural sanctuary linked to the local popular devotion. Once the hub of the village's religious life, it housed an image of the Virgin believed to be miraculous, and even today, Mass is celebrated there once a year in her honor.

Palazzo San Gervasio, a small town in the province of Potenza, is immersed in the lush nature of Basilicata and rich in history. Probably founded around 1050, it is known for its historic waters and for being one of the first to join the Neapolitan Republic in 1799. Here is also the characteristic mother church of "San Nicola", a splendid example of Apulian Romanesque architecture from the Nineteenth century.

Spinazzola is a town in Puglia not far from the border with Basilicata, on the slopes of the Murge. It has medieval origins and owes its name to the Spinelli family, who was its feudal lord from the 13th to the 15th century. The town is known for the production of homemade bread and for its musical tradition, which is expressed in the town band and its participation in musical reviews and competitions.
