About Sagra di San Giovanni
The patronal festival of Orio Litta
The Sagra di San Giovanni is the most anticipated event of the summer in Orio Litta, in the province of Lodi. It celebrates the patron saint Saint John the Baptist and is organized by the Pro Loco Oriese APS. It traditionally takes place towards the end of August, spanning five evenings.
Music, dancing, and cuisine
The heart of the festival are the evenings in Piazza dei Benedettini, with live orchestras and musical groups, dancing, and a rich catering service offering typical local dishes. There are also popular games and the traditional final bingo that concludes the event.
History and Via Francigena
The festival is also an opportunity to discover the town's heritage: in Orio Litta is the medieval Benedictine Grangia, an important stop on the Via Francigena for pilgrims heading to Rome. A festival that intertwines religious tradition, conviviality, and historical identity of the Basso Lodigiano.
