About Festival of Saint Urban
The patron saint of Altavilla Vicentina
The Festival of Saint Urban is the patronal feast of Altavilla Vicentina, a municipality in the province of Vicenza at the foot of the Berici Hills. The patron saint is Saint Urban I, pope and martyr, who local tradition celebrates on September 8th. The parish church of the town is dedicated to the Most Holy Redeemer and Saint Urban Pope, and it preserves the community's bond with the figure of its protector.
Between faith and community
The patronal commemoration is structured around religious moments – the solemn Mass and the procession with the statue of the saint through the town streets – accompanied by festive events that bring together the inhabitants of Altavilla and its hamlets. It is an occasion for meeting that renews the traditions of the Vicenza town every year.
