Veroli. Fair of the Giglio di Veroli

On the first Sunday of May we celebrate the Madonna del Giglio (Madonna of lilies) di Veroli in the Giglio district that takes its name.

In fact it is said that a Madonna with three lilies appeared in this part of Veroli where a church was later built in 1705.

The festivities begin with religious celebrations and a torchlight procession on the mountain after the Saturday procession. Then, it continues with a market and a party with music and dancing.
