About Friendship Festival
The Friendship Festival of Medole
The Friendship Festival is the summer festival of the Municipality of Medole, in the province of Mantua, in the Alto Mantovano area. Founded in 1975 by a group of enterprising young people, for almost fifty years it has offered evenings full of music, good food, and company, becoming one of the most beloved and long-standing events in the region.
Traditional Dishes
The festival takes place at the municipal sports field and is famous for its menu linked to the Mantuan and Medolese tradition: spit-roasted meat, risotto alla medolese, tripe, stewed beef, and pike in sauce. A carefully curated gastronomic offering that, night after night, draws visitors from all over Alto Mantovano.
A Summer Landmark
Organized by the Friends of the Oratory, the Festa in Amicizia is much more than a local festival: it is a community event that spans generations. With its evenings of music and food, it confirms Medole's role as one of the most vibrant towns in the province of Mantua during the summer.
