The Gargano and Daunia

On the green Gargano promontory, an immense limestone pebble jutting into the Adriatic, villages rise like white splinters between the sea and the Umbra Forest.

This land of profound spirituality is home to venerated sanctuaries such as that of Padre Pio at San Giovanni Rotondo and the Sanctuary of San Michele at Monte Sant'Angelo, the most famous Micaelic place of worship in the Latin West.

During Holy Week, the area comes alive with evocative rituals that tell of an ancient faith: from the choral chants of the confraternities of Vico del Gargano, to the spectacular 'fracchie' of San Marco in Lamis that light up the night of Holy Thursday, to the moving 'penitents' of Troia who carry heavy crosses in procession.

An itinerary where nature, religion and history come together in a unique experience, among ancient villages and centuries-old traditions that are renewed every year in the magic of Holy Week.
