“Festival del Sisàn” is the oldest fair of bird hunting sector in Veneto; fairs of this kind were created in the twelfth century in northern Italy, the places most affected by the migration of birds.
The day fixed for the Sagra dei Osei Cisano is the September 8th, coinciding with the Nativity of Mary, before the hunting season. The festival has always seen the interests of both hunters and farmers, the first to find references and more for the upcoming opening of the hunting season, the second to buy farm animals and equipment. As always on these occasions could not miss the local wine and typical dishes of the area, in this case the Bardolino wine, tripe, polenta e osei.
One of the unchanged attractions over time is the singing competition between “chioccolatori”, whistlers that mimic the birds singing and the singing betweens “springs” (birds).
