Description
Automatically translated from Italian.
In Andrano, the feast of the patron saint, Sant’Andrea Apostolo, is celebrated—the saint who gave the town its name. The solemnity begins with a morning mass at eight in the church dedicated to the patron, followed by a festive family meal. In the afternoon, the faithful gather again for the procession at 4:30 pm, accompanied by the Città di Poggiardo brass band. After the cortege, another mass is celebrated, followed by a fireworks display and a convivial moment with local specialties.
