The patron saint's festival on the fourth Sunday of October
About San Prosdocimo
The patron saint of Cittadella
San Prosdocimo, considered the first bishop of Padua, is the patron saint of Cittadella (province of Padua) and is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of October. The patronal festival is one of the most heartfelt moments of the year for the community of the walled city.
Between faith and civil tradition
The day is divided between the religious dimension — with the solemn mass and celebrations in the Cathedral — and the civil dimension, with events involving the entire citizenry. The patron saint's festival coincides with the weekend of the Fiera Franca, Cittadella's ancient centuries-old fair, creating a unique blend of devotion, community, and fair tradition.
A shared identity
The San Prosdocimo festival represents a fundamental element of Cittadella's identity, capable of renewing the bond between the community, its history, and its patron saint every year.
