Festa di San Rocco - Valsolda
Valsolda's patron saint festival in the heart of August
About Festa di San Rocco
The patron saint of Valsolda
The Festa di San Rocco is the patron saint festival of Valsolda, a municipality in the province of Como spread across the hamlets overlooking Lake Lugano. The occasion is celebrated in the heart of August, around the day dedicated to the saint (August 16th), and is part of the calendar of summer festivals that liven up the lower Ceresio area.
Between faith and tradition
Like many patron saint festivals in the Larian towns, the celebration of San Rocco combines the religious dimension — with services and devotion to the patron saint — with community gatherings. It is an occasion for residents and holidaymakers to come together, in the height of the tourist season, for one of the town's most cherished events.
Valsolda and Lake Lugano
Valsolda stretches between villages and hamlets overlooking the Ceresio, on the border with Switzerland, in a landscape also made famous by the writings of Antonio Fogazzaro. The patron saint's festival is part of the identity of this border community, in Lombardy.
