Edition 2025 — Saint Martin

In 2025, Besnate celebrated Saint Martin with two events: on Saturday, November 8th, the Saint Martin's Concert in the parish church, featuring the Prisma Quartet from the Guido Cantelli Conservatory of Novara, and on Sunday, November 9th, the traditional distribution of Pan Giold by the town's Borghi and the Pro Loco.

The 2025 edition of the Feast of Saint Martin in Besnate was spread over two days. On Saturday, November 8th, at 8:00 PM in the parish church, the Saint Martin's Concert was held with the Prisma Quartet from the Guido Cantelli Conservatory of Novara, performing music by Yvonne Desportes, Pietro Mascagni, François Devienne, Claude Debussy, and Johann Pachelbel; during the evening, restorer Isabella Pirola presented the restoration of the statue of Saint Joseph housed in the church. On Sunday, November 9th, popular tradition returned with the morning distribution of Pan Giold, the sweet bread symbolizing the patron saint, organized by volunteers from Besnate's Borghi along with the Pro Loco.
