In Torrepaduli, a hamlet of Ruffano, the feast of San Teodoro Martire, the community's patron saint, is renewed on 9 November. The cult of San Teodoro d'Amasea has been present in the hamlet since the Middle Ages, and the day revolves around the religious procession that passes through the streets of the village. The feast is organised by the Parrocchia Maria Santissima Immacolata di Torrepaduli, with the patronage and contribution of the Comune di Ruffano. Alongside the religious services, a civil programme is planned to enliven the afternoon and evening of 9 November, starting with musical accompaniment. For the community of Ruffano it is one of the most deeply felt appointments of the year, between devotion and popular tradition.
