Festa Patronale dei Santi Pietro e Paolo di Monno

Saints Peter and Paul, patrons of Monno

In the municipality of Monno, in the upper Valle Camonica, in the Province of Brescia, the most cherished festival of the year is that of the patron saints Peter and Paul, celebrated on June 29th. The village's parish church is dedicated to the two apostles, and the patronal feast that brings the entire community together is organised around this anniversary.

Between faith and tradition

The heart of the festival is religious: solemn celebrations in the parish church of Saints Peter and Paul mark the days of the anniversary, with masses and moments of devotion. Alongside the liturgical dimension, the festival is enriched by civil and convivial events, organised with the contribution of the Pro Loco Monno-Mortirolo and local organisations.

A mountain festival

With its approximately 500 inhabitants, Monno experiences the patronal feast as a moment of strong community identity. Perched at the foot of the Mortirolo pass, along the route from Valle Camonica to Tonale and Aprica, the village retains the slow and authentic rhythm of high-altitude villages. The Feast of Saints Peter and Paul is the occasion when this identity manifests most strongly, amidst faith, tradition, and conviviality.

Discover Monno

Visiting Monno during the patronal feast means discovering a little-explored corner of the Lombardy mountains, far from the main tourist flows. It is a village that proudly preserves its typical products — from the famous Monno potato — and its religious traditions, in a landscape of pastures, woods, and Camun peaks.
