Saint Joseph in Abbiategrasso
Saint Joseph, husband of Mary and patron saint of workers and fathers, is a central figure in Italian Catholic tradition. His feast day, March 19th, often coincides with the arrival of spring in many places and is frequently the occasion for fairs and festivals. In Abbiategrasso, the festival renews this link between faith and community, bringing life and color to the Quartiere Fiera at the beginning of the warmer season.
