Fieste dal Perdon of Piancada

The feast of the Forgiveness in the Bassa friulana

Piancada is a small hamlet of Palazzolo dello Stella, in the Bassa friulana, a stone's throw from the Marano lagoon. Every year, towards the end of November, the community gathers around its Fieste dal Perdon, the feast of the Forgiveness: a traditional religious festival that combines devotion, conviviality, and the flavours of autumn.

Between rites and table

The event, traditionally held on the third weekend of November, alternates parish rites with moments of celebration. The heart of the conviviality is the community dinner, with a menu that showcases seasonal Friulian cuisine: pumpkin risotto and sausage, stew with polenta, side dishes, dessert, and coffee. The evenings are accompanied by live music and entertainment for children, while there are also chestnuts and mulled wine to warm up the autumn atmosphere.

A community that comes together

The Fieste dal Perdon is a portrait of a small community in the Bassa friulana that, between faith and food, renews the pleasure of gathering every year. For those seeking the most authentic Friuli, far from the tourist circuits, it is an opportunity to discover village traditions and warm Friulian hospitality.
