Festa patronale di Sant'Antonino

Sant'Antonino, patron saint of Vendone

The Festa patronale di Sant'Antonino is the most important anniversary for Vendone, a small municipality in the province of Savona located in the hinterland of Albenga, along the Val Lerrone. Sant'Antonino is the patron saint of the town, and his feast is a fixed event in the community's calendar.

A community celebration

As happens in many villages in the Ligurian hinterland, the patronal feast is the time when the village comes together. Religious celebrations, including the Mass in honor of the saint, are intertwined with moments of conviviality that liven up the town center: it is the identitary heart of a small community, but one that is deeply attached to its roots.

Val Lerrone and the hinterland of Albenga

Vendone is located in a green and quiet valley, dotted with olive groves and villages that retain the rural appearance of the past. The hinterland of Albenga is a lesser-known Liguria, to be discovered slowly: stone villages, paths among the olive trees, and a gastronomy linked to the products of the land. The feast of Sant'Antonino is a good opportunity to get closer to this authentic corner of the province of Savona, where hospitality retains the genuine flavor of mountain villages overlooking the sea.
