Sport, food, and conviviality at Colle di San Maffeo, above Rodero
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).
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.
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.
The 2026 Sport Festival is scheduled for Saturday, July 4, at Colle di San Maffeo, above Rodero (CO), organized by Gruppo San Maffeo. It is the first of the group's three major annual events on the hill, along with the Sagra di San Maffeo in August and the Festa della Solidarietà in September.
The day combines sports activities, food service, and community moments outdoors. The detailed schedule will be published on the Gruppo San Maffeo channels closer to the event.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition will be announced by Gruppo San Maffeo in the weeks prior. The day, at Colle di San Maffeo, traditionally includes sports activities, food service, and convivial moments for all ages.
