From February 14 to 16, Igne is preparing to host the festival to celebrate the patron saint, Saint Valentine.

The festival program kicks off on the evening of Friday, February 14, Saint Valentine’s Day. At 5 PM, the patronal mass will be celebrated, including the renewal of marriage vows for the couples in the community. Then there will be food and music under the heated tent. The typical dish of the day will be fried fish, with fresh products arriving daily from the Adriatic.

The following day, Saturday 15, there will be a soccer match “Old versus Young” at 10:30 AM, while in the afternoon there will be a briscola card game for 32 pairs. The menu offers polenta and venison for lunch, and salt cod for dinner.

And Sunday is the last day, with mural orienteering at 10:30 AM, entertainment and shows for the little ones in the afternoon. The menu includes lasagna for lunch, traditionally hosted for all over 80s of the village; and pasta and beans, and tripe for dinner. To conclude, there will be a big solidarity bingo.

Throughout the festival, there will be some fixed specialties: pastin, polenta, sausages, and the typical pendole with broth. The dance floor will be open, and there will be a wine bar and a stand for artisanal ice cream. The evenings will be lively with various musical groups.
