Saint Cross Festival

In 2025, Monticelli Pavese celebrated its patron saint, Saint Cross, on the first Sunday of May. The procession with the relic of the Holy Cross paraded through the town's streets, involving the entire community in a moment of deep devotion.

Alongside the religious dimension, the festival featured a charity raffle at the Oratory, the "Amici di Marco" cycling tour, a snack for everyone, and games for children, reaffirming the community and convivial nature of a much-loved spring tradition in the Bassa pavese.
