About Festa di San Maurizio
San Maurizio, patron saint of Riva Ligure
In Riva Ligure, a coastal town in the Riviera dei Fiori in the province of Imperia, the Festa di San Maurizio celebrates the patron saint on September 22nd. The occasion combines the religious and civic dimensions in a day that involves the entire community.
The solemn Municipal Council
A distinctive feature of the festival is the Solemn Extraordinary Municipal Council held in Piazza Matteotti: in this setting, the Riva Ligure Prize and recognitions are awarded to citizens, students, associations, and entities that have distinguished themselves for civic, sporting, and cultural merits. An institutional moment that makes the patronal festival of Riva Ligure different from many others.
An authentic festival
The event is supported by the Liguria Region as part of the Authentic Events project, dedicated to promoting local traditions and celebrations. The Festa di San Maurizio is an opportunity to discover the identity of a village in the Riviera dei Fiori that values civic participation.
