About Fiera di San Fermo
The patron saint's fair
The Fiera di San Fermo is the patronal fair of Nerviano, a municipality in the Metropolitan City of Milan in the Alto Milanese, dedicated to San Fermo, the town's patron saint. It is an event with centuries-old roots that each year draws exhibitors and visitors to the town center, transforming the streets into a large open-air market.
Among the stalls
Along the town's streets, stalls line up with typical products, clothing, crafts, costume jewelry, and household goods: the fair combines the commercial dimension with that of a popular festival, offering an opportunity for the Nervianese community and visitors from neighboring towns to meet.
A tradition that is renewed
In 2026, the fair experiences a novelty that has caused discussion: as an experiment, it is moved from the traditional Monday to Sunday, the day of San Fermo's feast. A choice by the municipal administration intended, in the words of the mayor, to "strengthen the tradition," which testifies to how much this event is felt and debated in Nerviano. Beyond the controversies, the Fiera di San Fermo remains one of the most important identity moments in the city's calendar.
