Vico nel Lazio. Church of St Barbara

Vico nel Lazio. Church of St Barbara

The newly built church of St Barbara takes its name from the Santa Barbara district in Vico nel Lazio where it is.

It was realized thanks to funds obtained from the Panzanella Festival and the commitment of the local populace.

The feast of the saint is traditionally shifted to June in memory of when Vico's men followed the rules of stock movement with farms on the Pontine plains in winter and in the forests of the Ernici Mountains in summer.
