About Festa Patronale di Clivio

The Festa Patronale dei Santi Pietro e Paolo is the event with which Clivio, a small municipality in Valceresio in the province of Varese, celebrates its patron saints. Between a solemn mass, a gastronomic stand by the Amici dello Stalett, and community moments, the festival renews the town's traditions. The highlight is the awarding of the 'Bel Cif' Prize (Bel Clivio, in dialect), an award given to associations and individuals who have distinguished themselves for the good of the town. An event that is part of the summer programme 'Terre di Confine', which unites the municipalities of Valceresio.
