About Sagra di San Giovanni

The Sagra di San Giovanni is the patronal festival of Orio Litta, dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and organized by the Pro Loco Oriese. In late August, for several evenings, Piazza dei Benedettini comes alive with orchestras, musical groups, dancing, catering with local dishes, popular games, and a final bingo. There is also an opportunity to visit the medieval Benedictine Grangia, a stop on the Via Francigena. Free admission.

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.
