The hamlet festival of Beccacivetta, between dancing and conviviality
In Beccacivetta, a hamlet of the Municipality of Castel d'Azzano in the Veronese area, the Sagra di San Luigi is the most cherished festival of the year. It takes place in June in the square in front of the church of Santa Maria Annunziata, the heart of the small village, and originates from popular devotion to Saint Louis Gonzaga, celebrated on June 21st.
The program revolves around dancing evenings in the square, a tradition that draws fans of ballroom dancing and couple dancing from all over the area. The food and wine stand, which opens in the evening, offers dishes from Veronese cuisine, while the aperitif with a DJ warms up the atmosphere before the musical performances. There is also a rich charity tombola and a temporary exhibition, a sign of the strong spirit of volunteerism that animates the festival.
Organized by the Becc-UP group together with the NOI Circle, the parish of Beccacivetta, and with the patronage of the Municipality of Castel d'Azzano, the Sagra di San Luigi is an example of how hamlet festivals remain, in the Veronese territory, a vibrant fabric of social life and tradition.
