Festa du Paise – San Rocco
The patron saint San Rocco celebrated at Ferragosto
About Festa du Paise
San Rocco, 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 San Rocco 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 honour of San Rocco — 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 occasion to gather and celebrate the community's identity together.
An Authentic Event of Liguria
Recognised among the Authentic Events of Liguria, the Festa du Paise of San Rocco testifies to the vitality of the religious and popular traditions of the villages in the Savona hinterland. In a town known primarily 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.
