The Fair of Santi Faustino e Giovita

15 February.

This, the largest and busiest fair in Brescia, is held on 15 February each year. Santi Faustino e Giovita are the patron saints of the city and many miraculous events are attributed to them including the liberation of the city from the Visconti troops. Hundreds of market stalls fill the city centre from morning to night and the area around the 2 saints’ church in a fun day for all.
