In 1925 on the initiative of the poet Leone Ciprelli , the festival was founded with the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a festival to sponsor the local wine.
The core of the festival is on Sunday. In the morning we start with High Mass in the Basilica of St. Barnabas and the end of the service, the procession to the center, until you return to the Basilica of departure for the prayer to Our Lady of Pompei. During the procession the statue of the Virgin is carried on the shoulders on a machine Baroque, together with the fraternities, parades with huge banners and signs.

In the afternoon the influx of people in the streets becomes scary for our habits, the last festival in the afternoon, an estimated 80 thousand visitors. It commemorates the victory of Lepanto with a historical procession in Renaissance costume inspired by hundreds of extras, horses and armor, floats reminiscent of the victory bestowed to Marcantonio Colonna.
The culmination of the festivities can be reached at sunset, when the Moors from the Baroque fountain gushes pure wine, water supply is suspended. The miracle lasted for about an hour and everyone can draw Wine and drink in peace in this and other fountains around the city.
