About Sagra di San Gaetano

In early August, the hamlet of Calaone, in the Euganean Hills within the municipality of Baone, celebrates San Gaetano with its village festival. In the shade of the bell tower, in Piazza Santa Giustina, the food stand offers traditional Venetian dishes every evening — bigoli, fettuccine, grilled meats, cod, and polenta — accompanied by evenings of music and ballroom dancing. An authentic and convivial summer celebration, amidst the hills and villages of the Padua region.

Calaone celebrates San Gaetano

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).

Flavours of tradition

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.

Music and conviviality

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.
