Festa Patronale di San Giovanni Battista a Mozzo

The patron saint of Mozzo

Mozzo is a municipality in the western belt of Bergamo, in the area of towns that stretch from the city towards the Isola bergamasca. Its patronal festival is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, celebrated as per liturgical tradition on June 24th, one of the most deeply rooted anniversaries in the Christian calendar and in the summer of Lombard towns.

The polyphonic concert in church

Alongside the religious celebrations, the most anticipated cultural moment of the festival is the polyphonic concert in the parish church of San Giovanni Battista, in Piazza Trieste. The evening, with free admission, features vocal and instrumental ensembles from the area—including groups like Polifonico Adiemus and Coro S. Cecilia—accompanied by flute, violin, cello, and piano. An occasion of high musical caliber that enhances the acoustics and beauty of the church.

A festival supported by the community

The event enjoys the economic support and patronage of the Municipality of Mozzo, a sign of the bond between the administration, the parish, and the community. In a town in the Province of Bergamo like Mozzo, the festival of Saint John the Baptist remains the moment when the spiritual and cultural dimensions meet, renewing the identity of the territory each year.
