Sagra di Lerino - Antica Sagra della Madonna

The Festival of the Madonna in Lerino

The Sagra di Lerino, also known as Antica Sagra della Madonna, takes place every year in June in Lerino, a hamlet of Torri di Quartesolo, in the province of Vicenza. Its origins date back to 1967, when the statue of the Virgin was placed on the church bell tower to commemorate the Madonna's maternal protection over the village and its population after the 1966 flood.

Homemade Gnocchi, Pasta, and Vicenza Wines

The gastronomic heart of the festival is the covered stand, featuring the specialty of homemade gnocchi and pasta, accompanied by a catering service and a Vicenza wines exhibition with tastings. There is also a bar with cocktails, allowing you to enjoy the festival late into the evening in a convivial atmosphere.

Music and Fun for All Ages

The festival offers ballroom dancing evenings with an orchestra, true protagonists of the Venetian tradition, as well as a Youth Area with cover band music, designed for younger attendees. Completing the program are shows, painting exhibitions, and the traditional charity raffle, striking a balance between tradition and offerings for visitors of all generations.

A Hamlet Festival

Organized by the Lerino parish community with the NOI association and local volunteers, the Sagra della Madonna is an example of the richness of Vicenza's hamlet festivals, where Marian devotion becomes an occasion for meeting, historical memory, and popular celebration for all of Torri di Quartesolo.
