A' Chiena

Campagna is famous for its traditional summer event ‘A Chiena’ (Italian: La Piena), which takes place annually every weekend between July and August. During the event, the city river Tenza is deflected from its natural course through the city main street where people wait for the water to come.^[4] This tradition comes from the ancient practice of cleaning the streets by using the river water. Later, it was converted into a delightful moment for locals and tourists.^[5]

I Fucanoli

I Fucanoli is festival in honour of Sant'Antonio, taking place on 17 January. The celebrations begin in the late afternoon with a service followed by a procession whereby the Sant'Antonio statue is carried in the streets of the city centre. While the statue is carried through the streets, huge fires are ignited.
