Organized by the Raixe Venete association in Piazza Pierobon and the historic center of the walled city, the festival combines conferences on Venetian history, traditional cuisine, music, and cultural insights, in an event that attracts enthusiasts from all over the region.

The festival of Venetian identity

The Festa dei Veneti is the event that every year, in September, celebrates the identity, history, and traditions of the Venetian people in Cittadella (province of Padua). Promoted by the Raixe Venete association, the festival takes place in Piazza Pierobon and the historic center of the walled city, a deliberate choice for an event that makes the historical memory of Veneto its core.
