Festa du Paise – San Rocco
Saint Roch celebrated on Ferragosto
About Festa du Paise
Saint Roch, patron saint of Bardineto
In the heart of summer, the village of Bardineto (Province of Savona), nestled in the woods of the Savona hinterland plateau, celebrates its patron saint Saint Roch with the traditional Festa du Paise. The event, set for August 16th, is one of the most cherished moments of the town's summer calendar.
Devotion and Ferragosto Celebration
The festival combines the religious dimension — celebrations in honor of Saint Roch — with the convivial moments typical of Ligurian village festivals. During the Ferragosto period, when the Bardineto plateau welcomes many holidaymakers seeking coolness, the Festa du Paise becomes an opportunity to gather and celebrate the community's identity together.
An Authentic Event of Liguria
Recognized among the Authentic Events of Liguria, the Festa du Paise of Saint Roch testifies to the vitality of the religious and popular traditions of the villages in the Savona hinterland. In a town mainly known for its Golden Mushroom Festival, this patronal feast represents the most intimate and identity-building moment of Bardineto's summer, in the heart of the Bormida Valley.
