About Sagra di Sant'Antonio (Palio delle Api)

In the hamlet of Sant'Antonio del Pasubio, in Valli del Pasubio, the summer village festival celebrates Saint Anthony with an unusual protagonist: the Palio delle Contrade delle Api Folkloristiche, a light-hearted challenge between the village districts.
