Antica Fiera di San Martino – Tregnago

The Antica Fiera di San Martino

In Tregnago, a municipality in Lessinia in the province of Verona, the Antica Fiera di San Martino is one of the most cherished events of the autumn calendar. Originally a farmers' festival, it historically marked the end of the agricultural year and the beginning of winter: it was the time when debts were settled, land leases were renewed, and preparations were made for the cold season.

Market, Land, and Tradition

For several days, Tregnago comes alive with a large outdoor market dedicated to local agricultural products, gastronomy, and crafts. There are also livestock exhibitions featuring cows, horses, and sheep, reflecting the valley's rural vocation, alongside food and wine stands and cultural events.

Culture, Art, and Community

Alongside the market, the fair offers a rich program of initiatives: the collective art exhibition "L'arte incontra Tregnago" (Art Meets Tregnago), the Nello Livellini Cinema Museum, the Alpini Hut, conferences (from sustainable viticulture to CAI mountain topics), shows for children, live music, and dancing evenings. All of this is curated by Pro Loco Città di Tregnago, the organizing heart of the event.

San Martino in Lessinia

The feast of San Martino, on November 11th, is synonymous throughout the Veneto region with new wine, chestnuts, and rural tradition. In Tregnago, this occasion becomes an opportunity to rediscover the peasant roots of Lessinia and to experience a few days of celebration that unite different generations around the memory of the territory.
