Place: Fosseno Among the hills of Alto Vergante, just a few steps from Lake Maggiore, the small village of Fosseno di Nebbiuno celebrates its Strawberry Festival every year, an event that has its roots in an agricultural tradition now sixty years old. When in the ’60s the village was famous for growing the prized Madame Mouton strawberry, few would have imagined that that passion for the red fruit would become a collective identity. Today, organized with dedication by the Nuova Famiglia Fossenese del Cucù, the festival becomes an occasion for the community that attracts visitors from all over the region, eager to savour the fruits of the land and the authenticity of a village that jealously guards its agricultural heritage. On the first weekend of June, the squares of Fosseno come alive with colours and scents: stalls brimming with fresh strawberries, jars of artisanal jams made according to traditional recipes, and typical sweets that tell family stories.

Anciue – Fiera degli Acciugai is an event held every year in Dronero, in the evocative Maira Valley. This fair celebrates the rich tradition of the anchovy sellers, emblematic historical figures who for centuries have travelled the Piedmont valleys and beyond, selling salted anchovies and other typical products. Their story has its roots in the second half of the nineteenth century, a period in which poverty and the difficult living conditions in the Alpine valleys pushed many farmers to seek new opportunities for income. During the long winter months, when work in the fields decreased, these enterprising men would travel on foot or with rudimentary means of transport towards the Ligurian ports of Genoa and Savona, and sometimes also towards Nice, to buy fresh anchovies coming from different regions of the Mediterranean. The anchovies were then carefully preserved under salt in wooden barrels and transported on the shoulder or on characteristic two-wheeled ash carts, locally called “caruss” or “cariòt”. The anchovy sellers faced long and exhausting journeys, often covering more than 30 kilometres a day along rough paths, to sell the precious salted fish in

Among rice fields stretching to the horizon and a territory rich in history and peasant culture, Caresanablot, in the heart of the Vercelli area, renews the appointment with the Panissa Festival every year. For over forty years, this event has celebrated one of the most representative and identity-defining dishes of Piedmontese gastronomic tradition. Panissa, a rustic, creamy and flavourful risotto, is the true banner of the festival. Prepared according to the traditional recipe with quality rice from the area (such as Arborio, Baldo or Carnaroli), the typical Saluggia beans, a sauté of onion and lard, and enriched with the characteristic salame della duja (a salami preserved under fat), all deglazed with a generous touch of full-bodied red wine, panissa is much more than a simple dish, it in fact embodies the agricultural soul of the Vercelli area. In addition to having the opportunity to taste authentic Vercelli panissa, cooked to perfection, the festival enriches visitors’ palates by offering, on the various evenings, other themed gastronomic specialities as well. Among these stand out the traditional fritto misto alla piemontese, fried fish and mixed grilled meats.

The festival becomes a moment of meeting and sharing, where the taste of hand-made pasta tells the story and gastronomic identity of the Piedmont hills.

The Corsa delle Botti and Monferrato in Tavola are two events held every year in the heart of Monferrato. The Corsa delle Botti is a unique competition that has its roots in the nineteenth century. Originally, the assistants in wine shops would roll barrels along the streets to deliver them, turning this necessity into a real race. Today, teams of pushers, made up of 3-4 members, compete along a city route, pushing barrels of about 100 kg through the streets of the historic centre of Nizza Monferrato. The race is divided into qualifying rounds, semi-finals and an exciting final, attracting a varied and passionate audience. In parallel with the Corsa delle Botti, Monferrato in Tavola takes place, a food and wine event that celebrates the culinary excellences of the area. In Piazza Garibaldi, the local Pro Loco present typical dishes of Monferrato tradition, accompanied by the best wines of the area.

Place: Teatro Regio Torino. Organizer: Teatro Regio Torino Evgenij Onegin | Pëtr Il'ič Čajkovskij Tchaikovsky never entertained any illusions about the subject he wanted to set to music for his fifth opera, Evgenij Onegin by Aleksandr Puškin. On several occasions he shows awareness of the presence of «very few scenic effects, very little movement» in a libretto made up of many «lyrical scenes» (as he would later subtitle the opera) from life in nineteenth-century Russia, from the preparation of jams in the countryside to a searing farewell dialogue in a palace in Saint Petersburg. What interests him is the strong «inner drama» so well expressed by Pushkin’s verses, verses that he in fact largely preserves. He is interested in the characters and their human condition: Onegin’s restlessness, Lensky’s «poet’s soul», and above all the feelings that stir a woman: «I am in love – he confesses – with the character of Tatiana», and anyone who knows the life of Tchaikovsky can imagine why he felt so close to the melancholy girl, noble in spirit and destined to see all the love that overflows from her remain unrequited. It is no coincidence that the “letter scene” in which she is prota

The Carrettesca Fair and the Festa del Roccaverano DOP take place in the charming village of Roccaverano, in Piedmont, to celebrate the prized Roccaverano DOP cheese and the gastronomic excellences of the area. Roccaverano DOP is a goat cheese unique of its kind, produced exclusively with whole raw goat's milk.

The event gathers the producers of this fantastic cured meat, already known since the nineteenth century, together with the area's most important wineries. Tastings, markets with local excellences, conferences, musical performances and the eagerly awaited “tying” competition among the best pork butchers complete this day dedicated to taste.

In Gorzano, a hamlet of San Damiano d'Asti, Piedmontese cuisine turns crispy with the Sagra del Fritto Misto alla Gorzanese: a tasty event that puts one of the most emblematic dishes of regional tradition on the table. A riot of meat, offal, vegetables and sweets, all breaded and fried to perfection. During the festival, you can taste the full mixed fry – with brain, liver, sausage, sweet semolina, fried amaretti and vegetables – or choose individual portions. The menu is completed by local starters, agnolotti, Monferrato wines and typical desserts. The festival, which takes place amid music, dancing and shows for all ages, is an unmissable appointment for those who love bold flavours and traditions that are renewed at the table

In Mombarcaro, the highest point of Alta Langa, a festival is held that has its roots in the earth itself: the Potato Festival, the heart of the traditional Sant'Anna Fair. In an enchanting landscape made of hills, woods and crisp air, the event celebrates the potato of the Alta Valle Belbo, a rustic, genuine agricultural product appreciated for its intense flavour and versatility. The aromas that spread during the festival are those of times gone by: hand-made gnocchi, stuffed ravioli, grilled meats, but also simpler dishes such as potatoes baked with rosemary or farmhouse omelette. The historic center also hosts markets with local produce and handicrafts, food and wine stands, musical performances and entertainment moments designed for all ages. The Potato Festival is a perfect opportunity to discover the flavours of Alta Langa and to rediscover a festival that still knows how to bring people together around what truly matters: good food and community life.

In the heart of the Roero, among neat vineyards and fruit-covered hills, Canale celebrates every summer the fruit that made it famous: the peach. The Peach Fair is an event that brings together the agricultural world and the festive one, paying tribute to the sweetness and beauty of a product that smells like summer. During the event, the historic center is filled with stalls, exhibits and tastings. The peaches - fleshy, fragrant, yellow or white - are presented fresh, in jams, in syrup, or as the stars of sweets, ice creams, cakes and liqueurs. But the fair is also peasant culture, with meetings, awards for producers and spaces dedicated to food education. Music, shows, entertainment for families and craft markets frame a festival that highlights the flavour of local fruit and the agricultural identity of an entire area.
