Festa patronale di Sant'Osvaldo
The festival of the patron saint of Cerro Veronese on the Lessinia plateau
About Festa di Sant'Osvaldo
The patron saint of the plateau
Sant'Osvaldo is the patron saint of Cerro Veronese, a small municipality on the Lessinia plateau in the province of Verona. The patronal festival, celebrated in August, is one of the most cherished events of the Cerrese summer: for several days, Piazzale Alferia comes alive with food and wine stalls, music, and shows that attract residents and holidaymakers.
Flavours of Lessinia
The gastronomic stands, set up by the Pro Loco Cerro Veronese, offer the typical flavours of the Lessinia territory, from cured meats to mountain cheeses. The evenings are accompanied by dance music, DJ sets, and shows, while the summer market and entertainment for the little ones complete a programme designed for all ages.
A community festival
Between the traditional funfair, evening shows, and moments of conviviality, the Festa di Sant'Osvaldo preserves the authentic character of Venetian patronal festivals, where devotion to the patron saint intertwines with the village festival and the promotion of Lessinia's traditions.
