Saint Lawrence Night returns to Verolanuova with a magical and enchanting atmosphere. Mark your calendars for Monday, August 10, 2026 at the Oratorio Giacinto Gaggia, where local culinary traditions meet the charm of a starlit sky. Fresh gnocchi prepared by Avis Verolanuova will be the stars of the dinner under the stars, accompanied by polenta, traditional second courses, and Brescia-style desserts that will make the evening unforgettable. The kitchen opens at 7:30 PM with mandatory reservations to secure your seat. But the magic doesn't end with dinner: after sunset, the football field transforms into an open-air arena where you can count shooting stars and make wishes. A rare opportunity to rediscover the simplicity and beauty of shared moments, far from daily hustle and bustle. Bring a blanket or mat, set up your special spot, and let yourself be enchanted by the celestial show. To close the evening, the 1990s party with DJ Juri promises to turn the night into a celebration filled with music and carefree fun, with the decade's best hits that will have both young and old dancing late into the night. An event organized by the Parish in collaboration with Avis Verolanuova, where charity and entertainment come together to create an unforgettable memory of the year's most starlit night.
