Antica Fiera di San Gregorio Magno

The festival of Roverbella's patron saint

Roverbella, a municipality in the Alto Mantovano region of the province of Mantua, celebrates its patron saint, Saint Gregory the Great, with the Ancient Festival that bears his name. It is the most traditional celebration in the town: an early September event that combines the religious dimension of the patronal feast with the popular and joyful aspect of a village festival.

Between market, food and wine, and exhibitions

For an entire day, the center of Roverbella comes alive with stalls and offerings for all tastes. Food and wine are among the main attractions, alongside exhibitions such as model making, spaces at the Library with children's books, and musical entertainment that accompanies the festival hours. The streets and the main square become a large path to explore on foot, amidst tastings, curiosities, and encounters.

A celebration for the community

The Antica Fiera di San Gregorio is above all a moment for the community: the celebration where the inhabitants of Roverbella come together and where the town opens its doors to visitors from neighboring municipalities. The presence of the Library and dedicated children's areas make it an event suitable for families, while live music sets the rhythm for the day.

The roots of Alto Mantovano

Participating in the festival means connecting with the traditions of the Alto Mantovano region, a plain area between the morainic amphitheater of Lake Garda and the city of Mantua. The Fiera di San Gregorio is the best gateway to discover Roverbella and its ancient, yet still vibrant, connection with its patron saint.
