A day of football and solidarity at the Oratory of Silvano d'Orba
San Pancrazio Insieme is a charity event held annually during the feast of the patron saint, San Pancrazio, transforming the Oratory of Silvano d'Orba into a large open-air playing field. Located in Piedmont, in the lower Province of Alessandria, just a few kilometres from Ovada and the rolling hills of the Ovadese region, this is a place where village life still revolves around the parish, the oratory, and the associations that keep them thriving.
The initiative is organized by A.S.D. B10 in collaboration with the local council and the Oratory, and has a dual purpose: sport and fun on one hand, and charity on the other. The entire day is based on voluntary donations, with all funds raised supporting the Oratory's activities—a vital hub for the youth and families of Silvano d'Orba.
The heart of the event is a series of five-a-side football tournaments designed to involve everyone. Matches are played in three categories:
You don't need to be an expert player: the spirit is that of a village festival, where participating, meeting up, and lending a hand is what matters. Team registration takes place in the early afternoon directly on-site, and the day concludes with an awards ceremony and refreshments for everyone.
San Pancrazio Insieme was also born as a gesture of affection and remembrance: the day is dedicated to the memory of Stefania Olivieri, Paola Ravera, Giuseppe Gualco, Marco Maranzana, and Alessandro Bovicelli, all of whom were deeply connected to the Silvano community. It is this blend of sport, solidarity, and memory that makes the event so deeply felt in the village.
More than just a sports competition, San Pancrazio Insieme is an opportunity to experience the Oratory of Silvano d'Orba as a meeting place during the festivities dedicated to the patron saint, San Pancrazio. It is a simple, genuine day where a football becomes the perfect excuse to come together and do some good.
Sabato 30 maggio 2026 l'Oratorio di Silvano d'Orba ha ospitato una nuova giornata di San Pancrazio Insieme, evento benefico di calcetto a favore dell'Oratorio stesso.
