The festival also includes religious ceremonies and a conference on livestock farming, offering a glimpse into local traditions and agriculture.
Prepare your taste buds for a feast! The Sagra di San Zeno is famous for its 'Festa della Costata,' featuring certified AZOVE 'scottona' steak cooked to perfection. You'll also find delicious grilled meats, including succulent picanha and classic Italian-style hamburgers.
