About Patronal Feast of Zianigo
The patronal feast of the hamlet of Zianigo
The Patronal Feast of Zianigo is the festival that every September enlivens the hamlet of Zianigo, in Mirano (province of Venice), in honor of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, celebrated on September 8th. For five days, the parish area of via Scortegara becomes the center of village life, with religious moments, gastronomy, and entertainment.
The ancient procession of the Madonna on horseback
The most characteristic element is the ancient processional rite in which the image of the Madonna is pulled by four horses: a tradition documented since 1490 that links the community of Zianigo to its Marian devotion and makes the feast a unique identity event in the Mirano area.
Gastronomy, music, and entertainment
Alongside the religious dimension, the feast offers a food stand with traditional Venetian dishes and grilled meats, open every evening from 7 PM. The evenings are enlivened by live music with bands, tribute acts, and DJ sets, while for the little ones there is a funfair, afternoon pony rides, markets, and a charity raffle. A formula that combines faith, tradition, and social life in the heart of the Riviera del Brenta.
