The sanctuary of the Holy Physicians Cosmas and Damian, in the Terranova hamlet of Arpaise, is the heart of the late-September feast.

In the hamlet of Terranova, in Arpaise, stands the sanctuary of the Holy Physicians Cosmas and Damian, dedicated to the two doctor brothers venerated as protectors of the sick. It is one of the main places of worship in the municipality and a focus of devotion for the area.We like to visit in the last days of September, when the feast of the Holy Physicians is celebrated, with religious events, folk traditions and a fair of farm tools and crafts. We then suggest coming back in autumn, when Terranova is known for its "castagne del prete" chestnuts, gathered between October and November.
