About Festa di San Donnino
San Donnino, thaumaturgical patron saint
In Cicognolo, in the province of Cremona, the patron saint is San Donnino martire (Saint Donnino the Martyr), celebrated on October 9th. He is a thaumaturgical saint, invoked particularly against bites from rabid and venomous animals, venerated as the patron saint of both Cicognolo and Fidenza. Tradition recalls him as a 3rd-century martyr, beheaded on the banks of the Stirone stream.
Between liturgy and village festival
The patronal festival combines the religious and popular dimensions, with a program that unfolds over several days:
- Conferences and cultural meetings
- Fishing competition for children, entertainment, and live music
- Dinners and convivial moments
- Stalls, rides, art exhibitions, and historical reenactments
- Fireworks and Solemn Mass
A community festival

It is an event that renews every autumn the bond of the inhabitants of Cicognolo with their patron saint and the village traditions, in the heart of the Cremona plain.
