Festa Patronale di Santa Margherita a Cusio
The patron saint of Cusio, in the Upper Brembana Valley
About Santa Margherita Cusio
Saint Margaret, patron saint of Cusio
Perched in the Upper Brembana Valley, in the Province of Bergamo, the Municipality of Cusio cherishes a devotion rooted in the Middle Ages. The parish church is dedicated to Saint Margaret of Antioch and became autonomous from the mother church of Santa Brigida as early as 1476. It is to this saint that the village dedicates its patronal festival.
The festival on the second Sunday of July
The patronal festival of Saint Margaret is celebrated every year on the second Sunday of July. It is the time when the small mountain community gathers around the parish for religious celebrations, in a village that comes alive in the summer thanks to the return of those connected to these valleys.
A village in the Upper Brembana Valley
Cusio is part of that mosaic of villages in the Upper Brembana Valley that preserve a heritage of religious and popular traditions. Saint Margaret's festival joins, in the local calendar, other events such as the Autumn Festival at Borgo del Mulino, confirming the vitality of a community that, although small, keeps its celebrations alive.
