The patron saint of Castelnuovo Bozzente, between faith and peasant tradition
Castelnuovo Bozzente is a small municipality in the Province of Como, immersed in the greenery of the regional Pinewood of Appiano Gentile and Tradate. Its patron saint is Saint Martin of Tours, celebrated on November 11th; the patronal feast is traditionally held on the Sunday following this date.
The commemoration of Saint Martin has always held a special significance in the rural world: it marked the end of the agricultural year and the expiry of land rental contracts, the famous "fare San Martino" (to move house on Saint Martin's day). In Castelnuovo Bozzente, this memory merges with the religious celebration in the parish church dedicated to the saint, in an event that remains one of the most heartfelt of autumn for the community.
With its woods and its intimate atmosphere, Castelnuovo Bozzente offers a setting of tranquility and tradition for the patronal feast. The Saint Martin patronal feast is the occasion when the village, in the Province of Como, comes together around its religious and rural identity.
The patronal feast of Saint Martin in Castelnuovo Bozzente, Province of Como, is expected in November 2026, following the tradition that sets the festivities for the Sunday after November 11th, the feast day of Saint Martin of Tours.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition will be published by the parish of Saint Martin the Bishop in the days preceding the feast. The celebration is focused on religious services in honor of the patron saint, according to local custom linked to the November 11th commemoration.
