The Patrons of Albano Sant'Alessandro
The Festival of Saints Cornelius and Cyprian is the patronal feast of Albano Sant'Alessandro, a municipality in the province of Bergamo.

The festival intertwines the religious dimension with the civil one. The heart of the day is the solemn Mass and the rites in the parish church dedicated to Saints Cornelius and Cyprian, Martyrs, accompanied by events and moments of celebration that involve the entire community. It is the occasion when Albano Sant'Alessandro comes together around its identity and roots.
