Edition 2025 — Feast of Saint Faustino

On February 15, 2025, Manerbio celebrated the patrons Faustino and Giovita with the rite in the historic chapel, the greasy pole challenge between neighborhood teams, and food stalls with winter specialties from the Bassa bresciana.

In 2025 too, the Feast of Saints Faustino and Giovita animated Manerbio, in the Province of Brescia, on February 15th. The religious rite took place in the 13th-century votive chapel, with the exposition of relics, while the traditional greasy pole challenge saw the teams from Manerbio's neighborhoods compete for gastronomic prizes from the Bassa bresciana. Stalls with roasted chestnuts, mulled wine, and hot cheese, managed by local associations, completed a day that combines devotion and popular tradition.
