The Campo Imperatore plateau rises within the Gran Sasso d’Italia massif, reaching an altitude of between 1,500 and 1,900 meters, near which is the city of L’Aquila.
The main event, with an important historical and spiritual value and an identity connotation, is the Celestinian Forgiveness, included in UNESCO’s list of intangible heritage, an annual jubilee that is celebrated from August 23 to 29 and which takes its name from the Bull of Pardon, the document with which the Holy Pope Celestine V, the day after his coronation as Pope, on August 28, 1294 in the Basilica of Collemaggio, wanted to grant plenary indulgence to whoever crossed the Holy Door of the Basilica of Collemaggio between Vespers on August 28 and 29.
The event, which includes a rich program of cultural events, has its main moments in the opening ceremony, on August 23, with the arrival of the Morrone Fire, after a tour that traces the itinerary that Celestino V followed to reach L’ Aquila from the Morrone hermitage, near Sulmona, and in the Historical Procession, on August 28, in which the precious scroll is escorted from the municipal residence to the basilica, where it will remain on display for 24 hours. The 2022 edition had the historic presence of Pope Francis, the first pontiff in history to preside over the solemn opening ceremony of the Holy Door, who, as a further tribute to the city, wanted to extend the Celestine Jubilee until 2023.
