Festa del Santo Patrono San Clemente

San Clemente, patron saint of Alserio

Alserio, a municipality in the province of Como overlooking the small and picturesque Lake Alserio, in the heart of the Como region of Brianza, has San Clemente as its patron saint, whose liturgical feast day falls on November 23rd. Around this date, the town gathers for its patronal festival, traditionally celebrated on the closest weekend.

Between faith and community

The central moment is the solemn Sunday Mass, followed by the blessing of cars and the distribution of blessed bread to the citizens, traditional gestures that strengthen the sense of belonging. The festival is organised in collaboration between the Municipality of Alserio, the Parish of San Clemente, the Pro Loco (local association), and the Municipal Library.

Culture and conviviality

Alongside the religious events, the festival offers cultural and entertainment moments at the Multipurpose Structure, with evenings dedicated to Brianza traditions and civic awards. It is an occasion for the entire community of Alserio to come together.

A lakeside village to discover

For those visiting the area, Alserio and its lake offer a tranquil and natural corner of the province of Como, far from the mass tourism of Lake Como. The San Clemente festival is the ideal time to discover the genuine soul of this Brianza village.
