Every year Taranto celebrates, on the 8th and 10th of May, the festival in honour of San Cataldo, bishop and Irish saint who arrived, according to legend, on the Ionian coast following a shipwreck, where he soon became the venerated bishop of the city.

The festivities culminate, then, on 10th May with the celebration of Holy Mass in the duomo and the procession which, following the saint's statue through the historic centre.
