The life of Saint Martin re-enacted by the community of Sambughè in November
The Historical Re-enactment of Saint Martin is a tradition of the hamlet of Sambughè, in the Municipality of Preganziol (province of Treviso). Around November 11th, Saint Martin's feast day, the community stages a theatrical re-enactment of the saint's life, performed by about 45 costumed participants.
Born around 2009, the re-enactment has grown over time to involve the entire village. The direction is by Cinzia Cavasin, while the script is by Enrico Lanza. The performance, free and open to all, has become a cherished event not only for the inhabitants of Sambughè but for the entire municipal area.
Alongside the performance, the Saint Martin festival in Sambughè retains the characteristics of a traditional Venetian village festival: a food stand and card tournaments (Scopa and Tressette) accompany the day in a convivial atmosphere. An example of how, in the heart of the Treviso area, popular faith, theatre, and community continue to intertwine.
The Historical Re-enactment of Saint Martin returns to Sambughè di Preganziol in November 2026, around the Saint Martin's feast day on November 11th. The community will once again present the theatrical re-enactment of the saint's life, with the usual participation of numerous costumed participants.
The precise date and detailed program will be communicated by the Sambughè community in the weeks preceding the event.
