Patron saint festival In 156 days
Feast of Saint Joseph
📅 Every year, on 19 March
On 19 March Samone, a municipality of 544 inhabitants in Trentino, celebrates its patron Saint Joseph, to whom a church in the town is dedicated.
Samone lies at the foot of Monte Cima, and since 2016 it has had a single boundary: the one with Castel Ivano, the municipality born from the merger of all its neighbours. So the village finds itself an enclave, an island of a few hundred people entirely enclosed within another municipality. It has two churches, the parish church of San Giuseppe and that of San Donato.
In the eighteen hundreds people came to Samone from the north, and a small Protestant community grew out of it: something rare in the Trentino of that time. Around the feast of the Assumption in August the village fills up for the Ferragosto Samonato, and in the middle of the festival they run the luciolada, a night-time race with no finishing order.
