A patron saint's feast in Putignano, Bari, Apulia. It is usually held in February.

One of Italy's best-known carnivals, with parades held on 1, 7, 15 and 17 February.

We publish the month, not the dates: this one comes back every year and the comune sets the days. Confirm with salentovacanza.com before you travel.
