About Feast of Saint Augustine
Saint Augustine, Patron Saint of Ponte Nizza
Ponte Nizza, a municipality in the Oltrepò Pavese in the Staffora valley (province of Pavia), celebrates its patron saint Saint Augustine with a feast traditionally held on the last Sunday of August. It is the event that closes the summer for the community of this mountainous area of the Apennine Lombardy.
Faith and Community
The patronal feast combines the religious dimension, with celebrations in honor of the saint, with a more convivial one, with moments of gathering, gastronomy, and entertainment. It is organized by the Pro Loco of Ponte Nizza, a reference point for the village's associative life.
A Land Rich in History
Ponte Nizza is also known for hosting the evocative Abbey of Sant'Alberto di Butrio, a Romanesque jewel nestled in the woods of the Pavia Apennines. The feast of Saint Augustine is an opportunity to discover this authentic corner of the Oltrepò, far from the most beaten paths, where the tradition of patronal feasts preserves its value of community cohesion intact.
