Antica Sagra dell'Angelo Custode
A centuries-old tradition on the first Sunday of September
About Sagra dell'Angelo Custode
A festival with deep roots
The Antica Sagra dell'Angelo Custode is one of the longest-standing traditions in Bagnolo San Vito, in the province of Mantua. Held on the first Sunday of September since 1903, the sagra has marked the beginning of autumn for over a century with four days of celebration dedicated to good food and togetherness.
Gastronomy, dancing, and tradition
The heart of the event are the food stalls serving Mantuan cuisine, open every evening, accompanied by evenings with dance orchestras playing liscio (traditional Italian folk music). Around them, the funfair, exhibitions, competitions – like the fishing competition – and festive moments for the entire community.
The religious dimension
Alongside the popular festivities, the religious aspect remains central, with the procession recalling the original meaning of the sagra dedicated to the Guardian Angel. An event that combines faith, tradition, and conviviality, deeply linked to the identity of Bagnolo San Vito and its territory in the Mantua plain.
