Triduo of Grancona

The Triduo of Grancona

In Grancona di Val Liona, in the Berici Hills in the province of Vicenza, the Triduo is one of the oldest events in the area. According to parish chronicles, it was established in 1800 as a solemn triduum in memory of the deceased, following a terrible hailstorm: born as a religious vow, over time it has also become a great community festival.

Over two centuries of history

With more than 225 editions under its belt, the Triduo of Grancona is a living testament to Venetian popular religiosity. The sacred part still respects the ancient vow: solemn masses are celebrated on Sundays in the church and on Mondays and Tuesdays in the Grancona cemeteries.

Village festival, shows, and laser show

Alongside the religious dimension, the Triduo is a widely attended festival. The food stand is managed by volunteers from the Pro Loco Val Liona; the evening events under the big top offer music, fashion, comedy, and shows, culminating in the final laser show that beautifully concludes the event.

Identity of Val Liona

Between faith, memory, and conviviality, the Triduo of Grancona tells the deep identity of Val Liona: a late-summer event that for over two centuries has brought the community together around a tradition born from a dramatic event and transformed, generation after generation, into a festival for everyone.
