The patronal feast of Treviso Bresciano, in Valle Sabbia
The Saint Martin's Festival is the patronal feast of Treviso Bresciano, a municipality in Valle Sabbia in the province of Brescia. The town celebrates November 11th in honor of Saint Martin of Tours, the saintly bishop to whom the parish church is dedicated and with whom numerous folk traditions spread throughout Italy are associated.
The heart of the day is the solemn mass in honor of the patron saint. Around the religious celebration, the typical traditions of Saint Martin's Day come together, a moment that peasant culture considers almost an agricultural New Year's Eve: toasting with the new wine, enjoying chestnuts, and, by tradition, families in Treviso Bresciano celebrate with a spit-roasted meat lunch, as it is the peak of the hunting season.
The festival is also an opportunity to discover Treviso Bresciano, a village nestled in the nature of Valle Sabbia, far from mass tourist circuits. Here, the patronal feast retains the authentic character of a community celebration, experienced by the parish and the town's inhabitants.
In 2026, the patronal feast of Saint Martin falls on Wednesday, November 11th. The community of Treviso Bresciano gathers for the solemn mass in honor of the patron saint in the parish church dedicated to him. Around the celebration, the popular traditions of Saint Martin are renewed, with new wine, chestnuts, and the traditional spit-roast. Any additional community events will be announced by the parish closer to the date.
The detailed program will be published by the parish closer to November 11th. The patronal day is centered around the solemn mass in honor of Saint Martin, following traditional religious celebrations; the custom of a spit-roast lunch is maintained within the families of the town.
Treviso Bresciano is located in Valle Sabbia, about 40 km northeast of Brescia. It can be reached by car by driving up the valley; the town is perched on the mountain slopes of the area.
