Sagra di San Gaetano
The ancient patronal fair of Mazzorno Destro, between Polesine folklore and gastronomy
About Sagra di San Gaetano
The patronal festival of Mazzorno Destro
The Sagra di San Gaetano is the patronal festival of Mazzorno Destro, a hamlet of Taglio di Po in the province of Rovigo, in the Po Delta. It celebrates the patron saint San Gaetano, whose feast day falls on August 7th, with a tradition passed down for decades in the small riverside community.
Folklore and gastronomy of Polesine
The festival combines the religious dimension with the popular and folkloric. The evenings are enlivened by folk music shows — featuring local groups from the Polesine tradition performing songs, dances, proverbs, and anecdotes of rural life in the Delta — alongside gastronomy, dancing, and festive moments in the square. It is an opportunity to rediscover the cultural roots of a territory where oral and musical tradition still plays a vibrant role.
A community festival
Organized by the parish and local associations, the Sagra di San Gaetano is above all a community festival: a time for residents of the hamlet to come together and welcome visitors, in an authentic corner of the Po Delta where the patronal festival remains an identity-defining summer event.
