A city that comes alive
The feast of the patron saint of Macerata, San Giuliano, is an event of great importance for the local community, combining tradition, faith and collective participation. Among the undisputed protagonists of this celebration are the hunters of Macerata, who play a fundamental role during the procession of the Saint. Every year, on August 31, the city comes alive to honor San Giuliano, the patron saint known for his hospitality and protection. The procession, which passes through the streets of the city, is traditional, a moment of great devotion and popular participation.
The role of hunters
It is precisely during this procession that the hunters of Macerata take on a central role, since they are the ones who carry the statue of the Saint. This symbolic gesture not only represents an act of faith, but also a tribute to the tradition and history of the city, as well as a form of integration between the hunting world and society.
Traditions to keep alive
The presence of hunters in the procession is a sign of continuity and connection with the past; they embody the values of community and solidarity, emphasizes the President of Federcaccia di Macerata Virginio Micozzi, reminding everyone of the importance of keeping alive the traditions that define their identities. Also very heartfelt thanks from the Provincial Vice President of Federcaccia Macerata Michele Merola, for the commitment and dedication that hunters demonstrate in this type of activity (source: FIDC).
