Golferenzo The Village of Wishes

On 10 August 2026, during the Night of San Lorenzo, when the sky comes alive with shooting stars, Golferenzo, in the heart of the Oltrepò Pavese, welcomes visitors to enjoy an unforgettable experience beyond time.

From sunset until dawn, this picturesque village—officially recognised as one of Italy’s Most Beautiful Villages—will be transformed into a dreamlike setting of soft lights, peaceful alleyways, summer scents and hidden places where wishes can be entrusted to the night sky.

At the heart of the event is a simple yet evocative tradition: write down your wish and leave it in the village’s most magical spot. It could be an ancient stone well, a secluded fountain tucked away in the narrow streets, or a secret garden where time seems to stand still.

This is an evening to slow down, gaze at the stars and rediscover the beauty of life’s simplest moments: the history of a village that has preserved its authentic character, art blending harmoniously with the landscape, and a silence that speaks louder than words.

Set against the enchanting scenery of the Oltrepò Pavese, Golferenzo invites you to experience a night you will remember for years to come—and perhaps, just perhaps, to see one of your wishes come true.
