The spring starts in Squinzano with a festivity dedicated to the announcement of the Virgin. During March, when vines have already green leaves, in Santuario della Madonna, the celebrations start.
Santuario della Madonna was built in the 17th century, for the desire of a woman from Squinzano, Maria Manca, a devotee of the Virgin. The peak of the religious celebration is the religious procession, which takes the statue of the Virgin throughout the town, accompanied from the music of the marching band.
The town is decorated with the traditional luminarie (decorative wood structures with lights) and a fair takes place in this day, selling goods for every taste, from agricultural tools and courtyard animals to clothes and gastronomic products.
