About Patronal Feast
The Patronal Feast of Rivarolo Mantovano
Rivarolo Mantovano, a municipality in the province of Mantova in the Oltrepò Mantovano area bordering Cremona, celebrates its patronal feast on March 25th, in honor of Mary Santissima Annunciata. The date coincides with the solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, to which the town's parish church, the church of Santa Maria Annunciata, is dedicated.
Faith and Community
The patronal feast is the main religious and civil event of the year for the community of Rivarolo. The town gathers around the liturgical celebration in the parish church, on a day that intertwines devotion and local tradition, typical of the patron saint feasts of the Po Valley.
A Village to Discover
Rivarolo Mantovano preserves a valuable urban layout, the result of the Renaissance renewal desired by the Gonzaga family, and a history also linked to Giuseppe Sarto, the future Pope Pius X, who served as chaplain here. The patronal feast is therefore also an opportunity to visit one of the most characteristic villages in the Oltrepò Mantovano.
