About Sagra di San Gaetano

In Mazzorno Destro, a hamlet of Taglio di Po in the Po Delta, the Sagra di San Gaetano celebrates the patron saint with a multi-decade tradition. Featuring folk music shows, gastronomy, dancing, and evening events in the square, it is a summer event that tells the agricultural and folkloric identity of the lower Polesine region, around the feast day of August 7th.

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.
