The Circle's Sunday

The Circle's Sunday in Alberino

The Circle's Sunday is a recurring event held in Alberino, a small hamlet in the Municipality of Molinella, in the Metropolitan City of Bologna, in Emilia-Romagna. On certain Sundays throughout the year, the village in the lower Bolognese plain transforms into a meeting point for the local community and those arriving from neighboring towns, featuring a street market and a series of entertainment events organized around the local Recreational Club.

The heart of the celebration: the Severino Ferrari Club

The event revolves around the Severino Ferrari Recreational Club, Alberino's historic gathering place, dedicated to the poet and writer to whom the hamlet is linked. The Club has always been the hub of the village's social life: during The Circle's Sunday, its spaces and surrounding streets host market stalls, where various products, crafts, and artisanal items can be found, alongside entertainment and social activities for adults and children.

An initiative spread throughout the year

A characteristic of this event is its recurring nature: it is not a single day, but a series of Sundays that mark Molinella's event calendar, between summer and the end of the year. Each event re-proposes the proven formula of the market combined with entertainment, offering residents of Alberino and nearby hamlets a regular opportunity for outdoor gatherings.

The village spirit of the lower Bolognese region

The Circle's Sunday well represents the tradition of village festivals in Emilia-Romagna, where the community dimension matters more than the size of the event. Far from the most crowded manifestations, here you can breathe the authentic atmosphere of the hamlet: a stroll among the stalls, an aperitif or coffee at the Club, meetings with neighbors. It is an event that enhances the territory of Molinella and keeps Alberino's identity alive, in a quiet corner of the plain between Bologna and Ferrara.
