About Festa in Amicizia

Born in 1975, the Festa in Amicizia di Medole is one of the longest-running summer festivals in the Alto Mantovano area. Every July, the municipal sports field hosts evenings of music and good food, with traditional local dishes: spiedo, risotto alla medolese, trippa, stracotto, and luccio in salsa. A historic event organized by the Amici dell'Oratorio.

The Festa in Amicizia di Medole

The Festa in Amicizia is the summer festival of the Municipality of Medole, in the province of Mantova, in the Alto Mantovano area. Founded in 1975 by a group of enterprising young people, for almost fifty years it has offered evenings full of music, good food, and company, becoming one of the most beloved and long-standing events in the region.

Traditional Dishes

The festival takes place at the municipal sports field and is famous for its menu linked to the Mantuan and Medolese tradition: spiedo, risotto alla medolese, trippa, stracotto, and luccio in salsa. A carefully curated gastronomic offering that, night after night, attracts visitors from all over Alto Mantovano.

A Summer Landmark

Organized by the Amici dell'Oratorio (Friends of the Oratory), the Festa in Amicizia is much more than a local festival (sagra): it is a moment of community that spans generations. With its evenings of music and food, it confirms Medole's role as one of the most vibrant towns in the province of Mantova during the summer.
