Unlike the grand festival in August for San Bartolomeo, this one is primarily for the locals. For the festival, the chapel was topped by lighted decorations, which were also strung across the whole festival area. The procession proceeded from the chapel down the road a way and then returned to the festival area. Padre Alessandro lead the group in prayer and song followed by the statue of young San Bartolomeo. The mass, food and entertainment occurred in this huge pit across from the chapel.
Food is prepared in a large wok that looked more like a flying saucer.
Saturday we had fried crabs and squid and a live band played rock music. Sunday was penne pasta with recorded music and a drawing for a scooter.
