The Feast of the Madonna del Monte in Capo d’Orlando (ME)
A dear friend from Capo d’Orlando wrote to Sicily Guide about the recent feast in his hometown. Thanks, Duilio!
On October 21 and 22, the traditional “Festa della Madonna” of Capo d’Orlando (Messina province) took place under a torrential rain. This explains the lower number of visitors for this annual feast which is very much loved in the area.
During the celebrations the “Madonna del Monte” is taken down from the “Promontorio” of the coastal city and led through its streets which were full of stands with many varieties of merchandise as the previous years.
Being this a typical event in Sicily, there were amusement rides located next to the local basketball dome. In spite of the abnormal weather conditions, a good amount of people were able to participate and enjoy their free time in Capo d’Orlando.
