Festivities last for four days and include a mass held in the saint&#8217;s dedicated basilica, a procession that ends at the cathedral, as well as various events in Piazza Maggiore. These events include the flags, orchestras, sports demonstrations, and traditional local cuisine. While the feast honors St. Petronius, it\u2019s also a time for locals to express their affection for this beloved figure beyond its religious significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When does it typically take place? <\/strong>October 4th<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Devour_Bologna_Food-Tour_High-Res_0199-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Devour_Bologna_Food-Tour_High-Res_0199-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Devour_Bologna_Food-Tour_High-Res_0199-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Devour_Bologna_Food-Tour_High-Res_0199-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Devour_Bologna_Food-Tour_High-Res_0199-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Devour_Bologna_Food-Tour_High-Res_0199.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">San Petronio in Bologna, as seen in Piazza Maggiore. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-d1c1d2eb gb-headline-text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bologna_Portici_Festival\"><\/span>Bologna Portici Festival<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A novelty of 2023 was the Bologna Portici Festival, a celebration dedicated to the famous <em>portici <\/em>(covered walkways or galleries) of the city, part of the city&#8217;s UNESCO World Heritage Site designation.
