Italian Festival History
In 2015, we begin the fifth decade of the “modern” Italian Festival, envisioned by the beloved
late Fr. Roberto Balducelli, OSFS, as a cultural celebration and major fundraiser for St. Anthony
of Padua Grade School.
The Festival traces its roots to the “Carnevale” envisioned by St. Anthony’s founding pastor,
Fr. J. Francis Tucker, OSFS, in the early 1930s. “Il Carnevale” was also envisioned as a parish
fundraiser that highlighted and celebrated the parish’s rich Italian cultural heritage. This heritage
remained front of mind for the many recently arrived immigrants from Italy who comprised the
early parish community. Many of these faithful missed the traditions of the “old country,” and the
“Carnevale” afforded them an opportunity to keep their traditions alive in their adopted home.
From its inception until the “modern” refounding in the 1970s, the Festival took a number of
forms: being held in the courtyard between the rectory and the church, later expanding to a larger
format, adding amusement rides, and growing in length to two weeks in the summer at one point.
In addition, various celebrations marking the “Festa Patronale” (Feast Day of the patron Saint
of the Parish, St. Anthony of Padua, commemorated on June 13) were held at the parish but not
necessarily in conjunction with the “Carnevale.”
By the early 1970s, Fr. Roberto sensed the need to return to the cultural roots of this summer
tradition, while seeking to grow it in scale to address the growing financial needs of the parish
elementary school. Beginning in 1975, the Festival adopted its current format: eight days, Sunday
to Sunday, including the St. Anthony’s Feast Day. Throughout the 1970s, 1980s, and into the
1990s, the event continued to grow, now encompassing a five-square-block area.
The 2000s also saw significant improvements and changes, including the introduction of
dedicated off-site parking (in partnership with Salesianum School, another ministry of the Oblates
of St. Francis de Sales, who staff the parish), and the introduction of a secured perimeter and
admissions procedures.
Today, the Italian Festival is one of the largest Italian-American cultural celebrations in the
nation, and one of the largest events in Delaware/Philadelphia region. It is noted as a familyfriendly, safe, and very FUN staple of the Wilmington area summer festival scene.
We look forward to welcoming you. Buona Festa!

• In St. Anthony of Padua Church,
a portrait of Gesu Bambino (the
baby Jesus) painted in Abruzzo is
featured. Parishioners in the early
1940’s raised funds to have the painting
commissioned for the church. The
painting was created in Lama dei
Peligni, a town in Abruzzo that was
the point of origin of some parish
families. Below are links to YouTube
videos of life in Lama, to provide a
sense of life (past and present) in this
ancestral home of some parishioners at
St. Anthony’s.

Turks who beseiged it. The Christian
army won a great victory at this battle,
and this is attributed to St. John of
Capistrano. In fact, his death has been
attributed to an infection that befell
him following his exhaustion from the
battle. More on the life of the saint here. Also, view a video featuring various
images of the life of this saint here.
• St. Gabriel is the patron saint of
Abruzzi. He is also the patron saint of
youth. He is often referred to as St. Gabriel
of Our Lady of Sorrows or St. Gabriel of
the Sorrowful Mother. St. Gabriel, born
in Assisi, a Passionist priest, was named
patron saint of Abruzzo by Saint Pope
John XXIII. More info on St. Gabriel
from various sources online, including
this link. An additional note of interest:
the Catholic parish closest to St. Anthony
in the Hills Youth & Family Center is St.
Gabriel of the Sorrowful Mother.
• A fascinating piece of history from
the Abruzzo region concerns the The
Eucharistic
Miracle
ofLanciano,
which entails the preservation of flesh
and blood of Jesus Christ in a sacred
monstrance As background: the
origin of the city’s name is the Italian
word lancia (lance), which recalls
the lance of the Roman centurion
who pierced the side of Jesus on
the cross. The centurion’s name,
according to tradition, is recorded
as Longinus. The tradition also relays
the story that Longinus, who suffered
from poor vision, regained his sights
after touching his eyes with his hand
that came in contact with the blood
of Jesus. Longinus converted to
Christianity, and was later martyred for
his faith. More info on the miracle may
be found here.
• Did you know: Have you ever
enjoyed Fara San Martino pasta (in the
blue & yellow box)? This is produced
in southern Abruzzo, close to Lama dei
Peligni. nnn
