Discover Saviano

When looking for a hotel in Saviano, the purpose of your trip is a useful starting point. The annual Carnevale, religious traditions, church art and events at the Teatro Auditorium each offer a different focus. If a particular festival or performance determines your travel dates, check the specific date before booking.

Carnevale and cultural events

The Carnevale Savianese takes place every year in Saviano and includes two parades with allegorical floats. Thirteen Contrade help create them: each designs and builds its own float, with the support of highly specialised craftspeople. The two parades describe one part of the festival; the 13 Contrade show how the float-building is organised. This means that when considering Carnevale, you can take into account both the public festivities and the craftsmanship behind them.

Another important religious tradition in Saviano is the Good Friday procession. It offers a different focus from Carnevale and is a separate occasion to consider when choosing your travel dates. The Teatro Auditorium “Vincenzo Sorrentino” hosts concerts, theatrical performances and art exhibitions, among other events. The theatre entrance and car park are wheelchair accessible. If you are travelling for a particular performance, check its date in advance.

Churches and historic buildings

The Chiesa dell’Immacolata Concezione was built in the 1790s at the instigation of the lay confraternity of the Immacolata Concezione. Its ceiling features an oil painting on paper from 1859, signed by G. Simonetti. The painting depicts the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception.

The Chiesa di San Giacomo Apostolo also has a distinctive historical background: it originated in the Middle Ages as a lay confraternity and later developed into a church and hospital. It is one of Saviano’s oldest historic buildings and houses works of art from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Several architectural details come together at Palazzo Allocca. Its portal features a rounded arch made of Piperno stone; the façade has structural and decorative elements in the Neoclassical style. The courtyard contains a 14th-century garden. Admission to the palazzo is free. Anyone wishing to compare historic architectural styles and individual details will find here a specific material used in the portal, as well as information about the façade and courtyard.
