The Marian feast of early July in Pedesina
About Our Lady of the Visitation
Our Lady of the Visitation in Pedesina
In the heart of Valgerola, in the province of Sondrio, Pedesina is known for being the smallest municipality in Italy by population. Despite its minimal size, the village keeps its religious traditions alive: among these, the Feast of Our Lady of the Visitation, celebrated at the beginning of July.
The recurrence, linked to the liturgical memory of the Visitation of Mary, is experienced with Holy Mass and a procession, moments that have marked the village's summer for generations. The Pro Loco of Pedesina supports the parish in the organization, helping to keep alive a popular devotion that persists best in small mountain villages.
For those visiting Valgerola in the summer, the feast is an opportunity to get to know the community dimension of this corner of the province of Sondrio up close, where every event on the calendar takes on a particular value precisely because of the rarity of its inhabitants.
