Festa Patronale dei Santi Marco e Anastasia
The patrons of Villasanta between faith, tradition, and village festival
About Festa Patronale Villasanta
The patrons of Villasanta
The Patronal Festival of Saints Mark and Anastasia is the recurrence that links the community of Villasanta, a municipality in the province of Monza and Brianza, to its patron saints. The festival traditionally centres around the second Sunday of October and combines the religious dimension, with the celebration of the solemn Holy Mass, with the more popular and convivial aspect of the village festival.
A festival that lasts several days
Alongside the liturgical moments, the programme is enriched each year with various initiatives: the funfair in the area near the Il Gigante shopping centre, exhibitions, concerts, a treasure hunt for children, and gastronomic events of the Brianza tradition, such as the tasting of torta paesana (local cake) and roasted chestnuts with mulled wine. The Corpo Musicale Villasanta (Villasanta Music Band) plays a central role, dedicating its patronal concert to the festival.
A shared tradition
The festival is promoted by the Municipality of Villasanta together with the Pastoral Community and local associations. It is an occasion for the town to come together around its identity, in the streets of the centre and historic spaces like Villa Camperio, at a time of year that marks the transition towards autumn.
