The Celestinian Forgiveness (in Italian: Perdonanza Celestiniana) is a religious and historical annual event held in L'Aquila, Italy, at the end of August. It is a catholic jubilee celebration, established in 1294 by pope Celestine V with his bull Inter sanctorum solemnia (also known as Bull of Pardon or Bull of Forgiveness).[1]
Since 2011 the celebration is a "Heritage of Italy for tradition" ("Patrimonio d'Italia per la tradizione")[2] and in 2019 it was inscribed in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.[3]
