Patronal Festival of Saint Eurosia — Brusatasso

The patronal feast of Brusatasso

The Patronal Festival of Saint Eurosia is the feast with which the hamlet of Brusatasso, in the Municipality of Suzzara and in the Province of Mantua, celebrates its patron saint. Organised by the Parish of Brusatasso, it combines the religious and popular aspects, according to the tradition of patronal feasts that have marked the life of the Padan communities for centuries.

Saint Eurosia, protector of the countryside

Saint Eurosia is venerated in the countryside as a protector against natural calamities — storms, hail, and drought — that threatened the harvests. Her feast, particularly felt in rural areas, keeps alive the deep bond between faith and the work of the fields, reflecting the peasant identity of the hamlet of Brusatasso and the entire Bassa Mantovana territory.

Four evenings of celebration

The festival takes place over four evenings, with the food stand offering local typical products and traditional Mantuan dishes. Around good food, the atmosphere of conviviality that characterises village festivals is created, where the community comes together and welcomes visitors from the surrounding areas. An authentic event, a guardian of the religious and popular roots of Brusatasso.
