About Festa di San Lorenzo
The patron saint of Selva di Cadore
In Selva di Cadore, in the province of Belluno, the Festa di San Lorenzo celebrates the town's patron saint, Saint Lawrence the Martyr. The feast day falls on August 10th and represents one of the most heartfelt moments of the summer for the community of Val Fiorentina.
Faith, tradition, and village festival
