After two years of hiatus, the feast of 7 and 8 September returns in honor of N. S. del Suffragio, Patroness and Protectress of Recco, an event that over the course of a decade has assumed increasing importance also at a national level.
Viewing of the fireworks display from the sea on board the boat with departures from Genoa Pegli, Genoa Porto Antico, Genoa Nervi and Camogli.

The event has its origins in 1400 and has its highlight in the laying in the sea of thousands of (biodegradable) candles lit in honor of the Madonna. In the morning the cannon shot announces the departure of the Dragun who, followed by paved boats, takes the parish priest to the altar of the “Stella Maris” located on Punta Chiappa, where Holy Mass will be celebrated.
In the evening, while the floating candles are placed in the water, the Dragun accompanied by the canoes, parades in a play of lights and music.
We have organized special departures from Genoa Porto Antico, Nervi and Recco to reach Camogli!
