Festa Patronale N.S. Assunta

Bargagli and the Assumption

In the hinterland of Genoa, along the road that climbs from the Bisagno Valley towards the Apennines, the village of Bargagli (Province of Genoa) celebrates its patronal festival every Ferragosto dedicated to Nostra Signora Assunta, in honour of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. A tradition boasting over thirty-five years of history that brings together the village community.

Festival in Piazza della Conciliazione

The heart of the celebrations is Piazza della Conciliazione, the village's main square, where the religious celebrations of the Assumption intertwine with the convivial moments of the village festival. During the Ferragosto period, when the Genoese hinterland welcomes holidaymakers seeking coolness, the festival becomes an occasion for meeting and renewing the sense of community.

An Authentic Event of Liguria

Recognized among the Authentic Events of Liguria, the Festa dell'Assunta of Bargagli testifies to the vitality of the religious and popular traditions of the villages in the Genoese hinterland. In a mountain village a few kilometres from the provincial capital, the patronal feast represents the most heartfelt moment of the summer, intertwining faith, celebration, and identity in the heart of the Ligurian Apennines.
