The feast of San Martino
According to the liturgical calendar, the day dedicated to San Martino is November 11 and the celebration in his honor, in the municipality of Casalserugo, also takes place in the days before and after this date, as usual, at the Palazzetto Polivalente near the parish of Ronchi.
To the solemnity of the holy mass in honor of San Martino of Tours, a soldier and Roman bishop of the 4th century whom collective memory has immortalized in the act of offering a piece of his cloak to a beggar suffering from the bites of frost, the traditional event combines the carefree atmosphere of an old-time fair with live music, homemade land and sea specialties (the menus of previous editions featured cod and fried fish).
To end on a sweet note and celebrate the fruits of the autumn season, at the end of dinner you can savor chestnuts and good wine.

Villa Ferri
Built on the ruins of a 12th-century fortress, the castle house of Ser Ugo da Casale is the most representative historical building in the municipality of Casalserugo. The majestic building appears on the emblem of the municipal flag.
Harmoniously set in a pleasant tree-lined garden, the noble residence, renovated during the 16th century, is arranged on two floors topped by a double-pitched roof.
Located at Via Roma, 14, the centuries-old house houses the municipal library on the ground floor and is embellished with splendid astrological paintings.
The church of Ronchi
Located at Via Ronchi di Casalserugo, 27, the place of worship is distinguished by a salient facade vertically tripartite by four pilasters. The massive wooden portal is surmounted by a white archivolt bearing the inscription DOM IN HONOREM B MARTINI EP.
In the central section of the front, above the portal, stands an elaborate rose window whose rays are connected by trilobed arches.
In the side sections, two high pointed niches open. The vast and bright nave of the church is adorned with enchanting altars in polychrome marbles, wooden sculptures, a fine pipe organ, and vivid paintings such as the depiction of the Last Supper, the apostles, and the crucifixion of Christ.
