Antica Fiera di San Matteo

A fair with ancient roots

The Antica Fiera di San Matteo has its origins in historical times and, since 2003, has been revived by the Municipality of Feltre as a major exhibition and market for agricultural and agri-food products. It takes place in the charming historic centre of the city, along the axis between via Roma and via Campo Giorgio, in the province of Belluno.

Flavours of the Feltrino

The absolute stars are the typical local products: the Feltrino Walnut, the Feltrino Chestnut, beans, potatoes, pumpkins, alpine cheeses, and dairy products from cooperative dairies, honeys from the Venetian Alps. The stalls of Belluno farmers liven up the streets, offering the chance to discover and purchase directly from producers.

Culture and entertainment

Alongside the market, the fair offers a rich programme of cultural entertainment: theatre and street performances, music, street art, and workshops. In recent years, the event has included conferences dedicated to beekeeping and alpine honeys, with tastings and competitions, and guided tours of the city's cultural spaces, from the Carlo Rizzarda Modern Art Gallery to the Teatro de la Sena.

Peasant tradition and Feltre identity

Organised by the Municipality of Feltre in collaboration with local associations, the Antica Fiera di San Matteo is an event that celebrates the rural identity of the Feltrino area and the entire province of Belluno, promoting mountain agriculture and its excellent products.
