About San Martino Castelnuovo
San Martino, patron saint of Castelnuovo Bozzente
Castelnuovo Bozzente is a small municipality in the Province of Como, immersed in the greenery of the Regional Park of Appiano Gentile and Tradate. Its patron saint is San Martino di Tours, celebrated on November 11th; the patronal festival is traditionally held on the Sunday following this date.
A festival linked to the land
The commemoration of San Martino has always held particular significance in the rural world: it marked the end of the agricultural year and the expiry of land rental contracts, the famous "fare San Martino" (moving day). In Castelnuovo Bozzente, this memory merges with the religious festival in the parish church dedicated to the saint, in an event that remains one of the most heartfelt of the autumn for the community.
A village in the Como pine forest
With its woods and its intimate atmosphere, Castelnuovo Bozzente offers a setting of tranquility and tradition for the patronal festival. The San Martino patronal festival is the occasion when the village, in the Province of Como, comes together around its religious and rural identity.
