Fiera Zootecnica di San Gaetano

A fair with a long history

The Fiera Zootecnica di San Gaetano, known to everyone as the Fiera di Rogoredo, is one of the longest-running agricultural events in the Lecchese Brianza. It takes place in Rogoredo, a hamlet of Casatenovo in the Province of Lecco, and has decades of editions behind it, a sign of a deep bond between the town and its peasant tradition.

Livestock and market

The heart of the fair is the livestock exhibition, which each year attracts breeders and visitors from all over the territory, alongside the large market that winds through the town's streets — via San Gaetano, via Foscolo, and via Volta — with dozens of stalls and exhibitors. Alongside the animals, there is space for agricultural machinery, crafts, food stands, and moments of music and entertainment.

Organization

The event is organized by the Cooperativa Il Trifoglio, in collaboration with the Municipality of Casatenovo, which each year publishes the call for tenders for the allocation of commercial pitches. A team effort that keeps alive a tradition rooted in the agricultural vocation of Brianza.

The meaning of the festival

In an increasingly urbanized territory like the one between Lecco and Monza, the Fiera di San Gaetano remains a bastion of memory and identity: it is the time when the community of Casatenovo comes together around its peasant origins, amidst the mooing of animals, the smell of the countryside, and the joy of a great village festival.
