The 36th Cimbrian Festival in San Mauro di Saline

The village of San Mauro di Saline is preparing to host the 36th edition of the Cimbrian Festival, an event dedicated to the historical and linguistic roots of a community deeply connected to its landscape. The program for August 8th and 9th, 2026, offers an immersive experience through culture and local heritage.

The festivities begin on Saturday with literary presentations and film screenings focused on the intangible heritage of the Lessinia region. On Sunday, the celebration moves to the Pieve di San Moro, a site of great historical significance, where local artisans showcase their work. The formal procession, accompanied by the traditional sounds of the Trombini and Pistonieri, leads to a Mass featuring prayers in the Cimbrian language, a direct link to the ancient Germanic origins of these highlands.

The afternoon continues with a rustic lunch in the pine forest, followed by music and theatrical performances. It is an invitation to explore the quieter side of the Veronese hinterland, where history remains a living part of the local identity.
