We will update this section of site during the summer, when the programs of municipal events will be published.

Easter celebrations will take place in Italy, from April 2nd to 7th. Easter on Amalfi Coast is a deeply felt holiday. Amalfi and Minori put on two spectacular performances for this holiday. Performances celebrate and immortalize the Passion of Jesus. These celebrations protagonist are: the flagellant (in italian: flagellanti o battenti), people dressed in white through the the town. In Minori, the “battenti” are part of identity and history of this small town and are distinguished from the others by the songs they sing. Infact these song are protected by the Ministry of Culture.

An event that is certainly important is the feast of Sant’Andrea (the patron saint of the city) which is held on June 27th. The festival ends with a spectacular fireworks!

On August 30th and September 1st there is: the Capodanno Bizantino. Il Capodanno Bizantino is the event with which every year Amalfi immerses itself in its Medieval atmosphere.
