About Sagra del Sedano di Campese
Campese and its celery
Campese is a hamlet of Bassano del Grappa (province of Vicenza), overlooking the Brenta river at the foot of the Brenta Canal. Here, every mid-September, the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows is celebrated along with the Sagra del Sedano, dedicated to the renowned Campese celery, a prized and crunchy local vegetable.
Between faith and peasant tradition
The festival combines the religious dimension — with the solemn mass and the procession with the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows accompanied by the band — with the popular one. The most anticipated moment is the celery contest, with the evaluation and tasting of celery in pinzimonio (celery with dipping sauce), which attracts producers and curious onlookers.
Music, games, and food stand
The evenings come alive with concerts, karaoke, baby dance, popular games, sports competitions, and a photography contest. The food stand offers traditional dishes, with Campese celery as a special ingredient. An authentic village festival, organized by the hamlet committee, where the produce of the land becomes a community celebration.
