Patron saint festival In 9 days
Feast of San Sisinio
📅 Every year, on the fourth Sunday of October
On the fourth Sunday of October Galgagnano, a municipality of 1,208 inhabitants in the province of Lodi, celebrates its patron San Sisinio.
Until 1142 Galgagnano belonged to the bishop of Lodi, who then handed it over to Uberto dei Casetti; its church remained the seat of a pieve until 1440, with other parishes depending on it. Municipal autonomy was broken only once: between 1809 and 1816, under Napoleon, the village was demoted to a hamlet of Quartiano, and it got its status back with the kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia.
The village has stayed off the main roads and has kept its farming face. A building that today houses a medical centre, called Le due colombe, the two doves, was the post where horses were changed on the via Monzasca; and about ten farms in the area belong to the Ospedale Maggiore of Lodi, which entrusts the running of them to local people.
