Festa dei Santi Patroni Cosma e Damiano di Concorezzo
The patronal festival of Concorezzo, between sacred and profane
About Festa dei Patroni Cosma e Damiano
The Twin Saints of Concorezzo
The Feast of the Patron Saints Cosma and Damiano is the patronal festival of Concorezzo, in the Province of Monza and Brianza. The two saints, doctors and martyrs who lived in the 3rd century and are venerated as twins, are the protectors of the town: the parish church is dedicated to them, and the celebrations in their honour represent one of the strongest identity moments of the Concorezzo year.
Between Sacred and Profane
The festival combines the religious dimension with the civil and community one. The spiritual heart is the solemn patronal mass, celebrated in the church of SS. Cosma and Damiano, with devotional traditions passed down from generation to generation. Alongside the liturgical moment, the festival offers cultural events such as the string concert at Villa Zoja, which brings great music to the town's symbolic park.
The "Gügia dòra" and the Town's Honours
One of the most anticipated moments is the awarding of the "Gügia dòra" (the Golden Needle), the civic recognition that recalls the historic tradition of Concorezzo's gugiroeu (needle makers). Along with other awards, it honours citizens, associations, and businesses that have distinguished themselves, in a sort of town "Oscar" that strengthens the sense of community.
An Authentic Brianza Tradition
Concorezzo's patronal festival is the perfect opportunity to discover the soul of a Brianza town, where popular devotion, artisanal memory, and associative life merge into shared festive days. An event that every autumn brings the entire community together around its patron saints.
