About Festa di San Camillo

In September, Lumarzo, a village in the hinterland of Genoa, celebrates its patron saint San Camillo de Lellis with the most heartfelt festival of the year. A procession, food stalls, dancing evenings, and games liven up the town for several days, in a patronal festival that combines religious devotion and popular tradition in the heart of the Val Fontanabuona.

The patron saint of Lumarzo

The Festa di San Camillo is the patronal festival of Lumarzo, a municipality in the hinterland of the metropolitan city of Genoa, in the Val Fontanabuona area. The occasion is dedicated to San Camillo de Lellis, the town's patron saint, and represents the most important event in the local calendar.

Faith and tradition

The festival combines religious moments and popular celebrations. The heart of the celebration is the procession in honour of the saint, around which several days of activities unfold: food stalls, dancing evenings, games, and entertainment that involve the entire community.

A village festival
