About Festa dell'Assunta
The Assumption, patron saint of Borgo di Terzo
The Festa patronale dell'Assunta is the festival of the patron saint of Borgo di Terzo, a small municipality in the Province of Bergamo in Val Cavallina. The patron saint is Maria Santissima Assunta, celebrated on August 15th, the day of the solemnity of the Assumption of Mary and the Ferragosto holiday.
The Church of the Assumption
The heart of the festival is the church of the Assumption, whose foundations date back to the 13th century: a building that testifies to the antiquity of Marian devotion in the town. Around the church, liturgical celebrations are held in honour of the patron saint, a moment when the entire community gathers on the most important day of the year for the village.
A Ferragosto Tradition

It is one of the many patronal festivals that, on August 15th, bring the small towns of the Bergamo area to life, intertwining faith, tradition, and a sense of belonging.
