Masses/Processions Held in Honor of Saint Liberata

Throughout the mid- and late-1900's, about 1,000 emigrants from Pizzone had migrated to the Chicago area. Now every June 8th at the Divine Savior Church in Norridge, Illinois, certain of those the emigrants attend a one-hour mass dedicated to the saint and also attend a thirty-minute religious procession around five blocks of the streets there, which also features a live trumpet/drum band, both first exiting and then entering the premise when finished. This is organized annually by the Saint Liberata Club of Chicago, founded 1944, also in honor of the saint. As for in Pizzone, on June 10th, they also hold the same above-mentioned mass/procession also, though it is not known in what the manner they hold the activity.

"Dell'Aurora Tu Sorgi Più Bella"

Dell'aurora Tu sorgi più bella, coi tuoi raggi a far lieta la tera, e fra gli astri, che il cielo rinserra, non v'e stella più bella di Te.

"Bella Tu sei qual sole, "bianca più della luna: "e le stelle le più belle "non son belle al par di Te.

Gli occhi tuoi son più belli del mare, la tua fronte ha il colore del giglio, le tue gote baciate dala Figlio son due rose e le labbra son fior.

"Bella Tu sei qual sole, "bianca più della luna: "e le stelle le più belle "non son belle al par di Te.

Ti incoronano dodici stelle, della luna si incurva l'argento, al tuo piè piega l'alito il vento, il Tuo manto ha il colore del mar.

"Bella Tu sei qual sole, "bianca più della luna: "e le stelle le più belle "non son belle al par di Te.
