The Feast of Santa Fortunata is the most celebrated feast in Baucina. This feast is celebrated on the first Sunday of September, and attracts people from all over. A specialty of this feast is the flight of the Angels: La Volata Del'Angeli. Young girls (5or 6 yrs.) all dressed like brides are suspended on heavy ropes between two balconies across from each other. When the procession with the Saint approach that area, the procession stops and the girls make their invocations to the Saint. Then they release doves and flower petals from little satin bags.
