The patronal feast of Maria SS. Assunta of Medolago, between faith and popular celebration
In the Municipality of Medolago, in the Province of Bergamo, the patronal feast dedicated to Maria SS. Assunta bears a poetic name: Una Festa tra le Nuvole (A Feast among the Clouds). The event, organised by the parish community, takes place around August 15th, the Feast of the Assumption, and combines religious devotion with a summer popular celebration.
For several days, the area of the parish church becomes the beating heart of the town. The programme includes:
It is a feast designed for families and all generations, where the conviviality of shared meals and the joy of the evenings intertwine with the tradition of the patronal feast.
Alongside the popular celebration, the spiritual dimension remains central. August 15th is dedicated to the solemn Mass, followed by the procession with the ancient statue of the Madonna Assunta through the streets of the town and the final blessing. A moment of reflection that gives meaning to the entire event.
The feast concludes, on the night of Ferragosto, with the traditional fireworks display, eagerly awaited each year by young and old, which lights up the sky of Medolago and beautifully closes one of the most cherished celebrations of the Bergamo community.
