Tuesday, November 11, the City will celebrate the anniversary of its Patron, Saint Martin.
The program for the day includes the solemn Celebration presided over by the Bishop, Mons. Renato Marangoni, at the Cathedral Basilica at 10:00 AM, and at 6:30 PM, the conclusion of the religious part with the Hymn of the Second Solemn Vespers.
The civil ceremony will come alive at 11:30 AM at Palazzo Crepadona, with the presentation of the San Martino Prize, established in 1972, to recognize and award those who have distinguished themselves through concrete works and actions in the fields of science, literature, arts, music, productive activities, labor, education, sports, the environment, as well as through social, charitable, and philanthropic initiatives.
Since 2021, the Prize can be awarded to an adult individual or to an Association/Entity of the Third Sector, and also to a minor. The municipal administration for 2025 awards the prize to Brother Roberto Rizzato, in the adult category, and to Leonardo D’Incà, a young minor.
The Civic Museum of Palazzo Fulcis will be open with holiday hours, from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM. In addition to the works of the Museum, a exhibition dedicated to Franco Fiabane will be available for viewing, as well as the display of the Ex Tempore sculptures, for which voting will be possible until Sunday the 16th. The Museum also welcomes back the #fulcisopenlab, the restoration workshop open to the public: from November 6, the processional sign of Mel, a masterpiece of wooden carving from the 18th century attributed to Giovanni Marchiori, will undergo scheduled maintenance. Museum visitors, during opening hours, can observe the work being carried out directly in the room where the piece is exhibited, on the second floor.
The celebrations in honor of the Patron Saint, grouped under the “Welcome Saint Martin - Belluno in Festival” program, will then continue with the traditional Fair, which will take place on Sunday, November 16 in the historic center.
