About Sport Festival

At Colle di San Maffeo, a panoramic hill above Rodero on the Italian-Swiss border, the Gruppo San Maffeo organizes the Festa dello Sport: a day of sports activities, food, and community moments that opens the group's summer calendar, in anticipation of the more famous Sagra di San Maffeo in August. A simple and popular event, set in the green province of Como.

A festival on the hill

The Sport Festival takes place at the Colle di San Maffeo, the hill that at 505 meters above sea level overlooks the Municipality of Rodero, in the province of Como, near the Swiss border. At the top of the hill stands the church of Maria Regina Angelorum, built in 1714, which replaced an ancient chapel dedicated to San Matteo (San Maffeo in the dialectal form).

Organized by Gruppo San Maffeo

The event is organized by the Gruppo San Maffeo, the association that enlivens the hill with its events. The Sport Festival opens the group's summer season and precedes the Sagra di San Maffeo, the main event in early August, and the Festa della Solidarietà in September. It is a day designed for spending time together outdoors, with sports activities, food service, and conviviality.

Between Rodero and the border

Colle di San Maffeo is a cherished destination for the inhabitants of Rodero and the border area: from its tower, the view stretches over the Valle del Lanza. The festival enhances this identity-rich place, combining the sporting dimension with the community and gastronomic aspects typical of village festivals in the Como area.
