San Antonio di Padova Saint Anthony of Padua Bovino

This photo shows the church of San Antonio di Padova, the church inside the Villa.

This photo has now become part of history, in that the drained fountain in which San Antonio is standing no longer exists.

The lights and the cardboard cut out Saint Anthony are added each year to celebrate his feast day on 13 June.

The church was badly damaged in the 1980 earthquake. If you look closely at the brickwork above the right door, you will see alternating layers of brick and stone as is required by modern building regulations.

San Antonio Saint Anthony procession in Via Independenza Bovino

This is a view of the procession on 13 June when the statue of San Antonio from the church is carried around the town in a procession.

Here they are heading down Via Independenza and are about to turn left into Via Nazionale. The petrol station is just out of shot of the bottom right of the photo.
