The patron saint's festival in the Staffora valley, in Oltrepò Pavese
About Festa di Sant'Agostino
Sant'Agostino, patron saint of Ponte Nizza
Ponte Nizza, a municipality in the Oltrepò Pavese in the Staffora valley (province of Pavia), celebrates its patron saint Sant'Agostino with a festival traditionally held on the last Sunday of August. It is the event that closes the summer for the community of this mountainous area of Apennine Lombardy.
Faith and community
The patron saint's festival combines the religious dimension, with celebrations in honour of the saint, with a more convivial one, featuring moments of gathering, gastronomy, and entertainment. It is organized by the Pro Loco of Ponte Nizza, a focal point for the village's community life.
A territory rich in history
Ponte Nizza is also known for hosting the evocative Abbey of Sant'Alberto di Butrio, a Romanesque jewel nestled in the woods of the Pavese Apennines. The Sant'Agostino festival is an opportunity to discover this authentic corner of Oltrepò, far from the beaten paths, where the tradition of patron saint festivals retains its value of community cohesion intact.
