Farnese. Feast of Saint Isidore the Laborer

Since 1815, on May 10 Farnese holds the feast in honour of the patron Saint Isidore the Laborer with a solemn procession.

The day ends with the traditional "bicchierata sotto Colonne" consisting of sandwiches with roast pork, Farnesano Pecorino with fava beans, biscuits and cakes, and locally produced wine.

The festival in honour of the saint is linked to the local bank which in 1932 had made the "Triumphal Chariot" pulled by oxen on which is carried the bust of the saint.
