In honour of San Fortunato, this festival has been an annual event since 1952. Saturday’s blessing of the fish festivities includes bonfires and a spectacular display of fireworks. On Sunday the town pulls out what is said to be the largest skillet in the world, about four meters more than 12 feet in diameter and fries up a huge helping of fish donated by the local fish cooperative.
