Historical
procession of San Leucio
In the month of July, in order to celebrate the Madonna of
the SS Graces, all the borough steps back in time. Each member
of the San Leucio community dresses and lives like in the
past.
The
Madonna of Graces festival
Since the times of Ferdinand IV, on July
2, the Madonna of Graces is celebrated in San Leucio. The
King was particularly devout to the Madonna, up to the point
that he named Her Patron Saint of San Leucio and jealously
kept a small painting of high quality about the Madonna he
dearly loved.
