Feast of St. Ubertus in Val di Non. - Appointment in Vigo di Ton (TN) with Celebrations and Conference on Safety on November 27, 2010.
Appointment in Vigo di Ton, next Saturday (27.11.2010) for the traditional feast of St. Uberto, patron saint of hunters.
The event has been taking place for many years now in the village of Val di Non where the relics of the saint are kept in the parish church dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta.
Santa Maria Assunta has thus become a real sanctuary for Trentino hunters, who every year meet in the pretty town for an event that combines religious celebrations with shared and heartfelt social moments.
A conference was also added to the program of this edition, dedicated to the theme "Weapons and security, port and detention", more than ever heard in the Trentino hunting environment. It will be attended by the judge Dr. Edoardo Mori, well-known expert in the field of weapons discipline, and Dr. Claudia Morelli, deputy commissioner of Trento. The moderator will be the lawyer Andrea Antolini, who joins the legal profession with a role in the council of the Trentino Hunters Association.
We will continue with the procession through the streets of the town, the Mass of St. Hubertus and the exhibition of the relics of the Saint.
Convivial conclusion with the hunter's dinner.
The event is organized by the Ton Municipal Hunting Reserve, in collaboration with the Municipality of Ton and the Trentino Hunters Association.
