Fire is the main element in the celebrations done in Novoli to honour the Patron Saint Antonio Abate, during January.

The religious celebrations end with the lighting of the “focara” the day before the Patron Saint day, on the notes of the marching band. In parallel, for 10 years, the civil celebrations are organised in a festival: the Focara Festival.
The huge pyre, according with the tradition, has to be built from the citizens, using shoots, obtained from the pruning of the vines. The pyre is lighted, in the square in the town suburbs, the 16th, Saint day’s eve, and it keeps burning until the day after.
