The patronal feast of Saint Christopher in Bertesina
The Stratagliata Festival is the patronal feast of Saint Christopher that every late summer transforms Bertesina, a hamlet of Vicenza, into a large meeting point. Along Via San Cristoforo, the community prepares for days of celebration that intertwine religious tradition, good food, and social life.
The specialty that gives the festival its identity and name is the «Stratagliata», which is grilled meat served every evening at the food stand, open from 7:00 PM. It is the signature dish that draws many food lovers to Bertesina every year.
In addition to good food, the festival offers music, entertainment, and activities for all ages, with areas dedicated to young people and an inflatable area for children. With its parish roots and long duration — up to ten days of celebration — the Stratagliata Festival is one of the most cherished events of late summer in Vicenza, in the Veneto region.
