Patron saint festival In 298 days
Feast of San Lorenzo
📅 Every year, on 10 August
On 10 August Lozzo di Cadore, a municipality of 1,497 inhabitants in the province of Belluno, celebrates its patron San Lorenzo.
The Friuli earthquake of 1348 brought down a landslide that wiped out the village; it was rebuilt lower down, and above the houses the great fan-shaped fracture in the rock can still be seen. The place was a good one: water, fertile ground and a climate less harsh than in the rest of the Cadore.
On the name nobody agrees: some derive it from a Roman Lucius, some from luteum, a marshy place, some from a sacred wood, and some from light, for the signals that were lit to warn that invaders were coming. From the graves outside the village came a funerary stone with an inscription in the Venetic language.
