About Festival of Saint Ambrose

In December, Torre de' Picenardi celebrates its patron saint, Saint Ambrose, combining the religious feast with the Christmas market set up by the Pro Loco in Piazza Roma. Amidst stalls, entertainment, and a festive atmosphere, the festival is one of the most cherished events for the community of the Municipality of Torre de' Picenardi, in the province of Cremona.

Saint Ambrose, Patron Saint of Torre de' Picenardi

The Festival of Saint Ambrose is the feast of the patron saint of Torre de' Picenardi, a Municipality in the province of Cremona. Saint Ambrose is celebrated on December 7th, and in the town, the occasion marks the start of the Christmas season.

The Christmas Market in Piazza Roma

Around the patronal feast, the Pro Loco Torre de' Picenardi organizes the Christmas Market in Piazza Roma, the heart of the town: stalls, gift ideas, artisan products, and entertainment create a festive atmosphere, an event that draws families and visitors from neighboring towns.

A Community Celebration

The Pro Loco enlivens Torre de' Picenardi's calendar throughout the year—from the Ferragosto in Villa to cultural initiatives—and the Festival of Saint Ambrose with the Christmas market concludes the season on a festive note, blending devotion to the patron saint with the Christmas conviviality typical of the villages in the Bassa cremonese region.
