On September 8, Prato celebrates its patronal and civic festival with the traditional Corteggio Storico and the display of the Sacred Girdle of the Virgin Mary.
Costumed participants parade through the streets of the city center, from Piazza del Comune to the Cathedral forecourt, for the final blessing and the exposition of the holy relic from the pulpit.
Celebrating Prato’s history and identity, this event invites residents and visitors to immerse themselves in the city’s timeless traditions🎊.
We wish everyone a wonderful Festa di Prato!
