  • Observe the saint's iconography: look for distinctive clerical garments or objects (crozier, book) that identify Caracciolo.
  • If a mass or local feast day happens, the church plaza will host processions-check town notices for dates tied to the saint's feast (usually early June for Francesco Caracciolo).
