Edition 2025 — Saint Martin's Summer

The 2025 edition of Saint Martin's Summer took place on November 8-9 and 22 at the Barchessa and Park of Villa Terracini in Osteria Nuova, Sala Bolognese. Among food stalls, craft workshops, foliage tours, and activities for children, the festival celebrated autumn and the rural traditions of the Bolognese plain, with roasted chestnuts, polenta with ragù, grandmother's raviole, and mulled wine.

The 2025 edition of Saint Martin's Summer was held over two weekends: November 8-9 and November 22, 2025, at the Barchessa and Park of Villa Terracini in Osteria Nuova (Sala Bolognese).

On Saturdays, November 8 and 22, at 10:00 AM, the Foliage Tour "Trekking among the colours of autumn" took place at the Dosolo Flood Expansion Area, organised by eXtraBo. On Sunday, November 9, from 9:30 AM, the festival came alive with workshops and demonstrations — wood carving, pyrography, wickerwork, from milk processing to cheese making — a mycological exhibition, and a display of vintage tractors.

For children, there was a treasure hunt and a pizza-making workshop, while the food stalls offered polenta with ragù, filled crescentine, grandmother's raviole, roasted chestnuts, pumpkin-based products, mulled wine, and hot chocolate. The Bandessa Street Band and the blessing of the animals enlivened the day.
