The patron saint's festival on the night of the shooting stars
In Borgo Cerreto, a hamlet of Cerreto di Spoleto in the province of Perugia, August 10th is the day of San Lorenzo, the patron saint linked to the village's church of the same name. For the occasion, the community gathers for the Festeggiamenti di San Lorenzo, which intertwine the religious celebration with the village festival, on the evocative night of the shooting stars.
The day alternates liturgical moments with conviviality: food stalls with traditional Valnerina dishes, shows, and entertainment liven up the village. The sporting event is not missing, with the San Lorenzo football tournament which has attracted teams and fans for years, strengthening the bond between the communities of the area.
The San Lorenzo celebrations are regularly included in the summer calendar of the Municipality of Cerreto di Spoleto, among the numerous events that liven up August in the hamlets of the Valnerina. They are an opportunity to experience the authenticity of a village festival, far from the major tourist flows.
