The summer festival in the shade of Calaone's bell tower, in the Euganean Hills
The Sagra di San Gaetano takes place in Calaone, a charming hillside hamlet in the municipality of Baone, in the province of Padova, in the heart of the Euganean Hills. The festival, dedicated to San Gaetano, is held in Piazza Santa Giustina, in the shade of the village bell tower, and is organized by the Circolo Parrocchiale San Gaetano (Parish Circle of San Gaetano).
The heart of the festival is the food stand, open every evening with dishes from traditional Venetian cuisine: fettuccine, bigoli, penne with various sauces, steaks, sausages, ribs, pancetta, cod and dried fish, polenta, side dishes, and homemade desserts, all accompanied by good wine and refreshing drinks. It's a table that tells the story of the agricultural tradition of the Euganean Hills.
The evenings of the Sagra di San Gaetano are enlivened by live music and ballroom dancing, in a village festival atmosphere that draws residents from Calaone, Baone, and nearby hamlets. It's a genuine opportunity to experience the Euganean summer away from mass tourist circuits, amidst the hills, vineyards, and popular traditions of the Veneto region.
The 2026 edition of the Sagra di San Gaetano renews in Calaone, a hamlet of Baone in the Euganean Hills, the traditional summer festival dedicated to the saint.
