Citizens and visitors gather in the characteristic Piazza Vittorio Veneto to celebrate one of the most important festivals in the town, dedicated to Saint Gaetano Thiene.
Taste, Music, and Fun for Everyone
The evenings are enlivened by music and the food stand, which offers the best local culinary traditions, with the genuine flavors of Polesine cuisine.
