About Sagra di San Bello
The winter festival of Berbenno
The Sagra di San Bello is the event that enlivens the hamlets of Monastero and Maroggia in Berbenno di Valtellina, in the province of Sondrio, every February. Spread over three weekends, it combines the gastronomic dimension with the religious and community aspects, during a time of year when village festivals become precious opportunities for gathering.
A taste of tradition
Evenings begin at 6:00 PM with dinners featuring a typical Valtellina menu, accompanied by live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The festival's special menu offers a trio of risottos, boiled chicken, roast chicken, side dishes, dessert, and coffee. Sundays include a morning Holy Mass, a traditional lunch, and an afternoon of music, entertainment, and creative activities.
The patronal feast of San Benigno
The central moment of the event is the patronal feast of San Benigno, with a solemn mass, a community lunch, and a procession with relics. An occasion that intertwines popular devotion with conviviality, following a deep-rooted tradition.
