In the heart of the charming village of Bosmenso, the night of 31 July 2024 will be lit up not only by the stars, but also by the warmth of the community and the flavours of tradition. The Festa delle Piazzette, now in its 19th edition, transforms the village into a stage of tastes and scents, where every street, courtyard and square becomes a meeting point for lovers of good food and ancient traditions.
The Festa delle Piazzette is not only an opportunity to enjoy culinary delicacies, but above all a moment of unity and celebration for the inhabitants of Bosmenso. Every family, every house and every alley actively participate in the realisation of this event, which, year after year, continues to grow in participation and popularity. The cooperation among residents is palpable: from the grandmothers who prepare the homemade pasta to the young people who serve at the tables, everyone contributes to creating an atmosphere of celebration and sharing.
The heart of the Festa delle Piazzette is, without a doubt, the food and wine on offer. Strolling through the narrow streets of the village, participants will be able to savour traditional local recipes, the result of a genuine cuisine that reflects the soul of the territory of the four provinces.

Among the specialities that will be available for tasting are the famous ravioli with braised meat sauce, prepared with fresh hand-rolled pasta and filled with tender and tasty meat. There will also be typical cured meats, such as Varzi salami, a product of excellence from the area, seasoned to perfection and with an unmistakable flavour.
Polenta, the emblem of peasant cuisine, will be served with various condiments, offering a culinary experience that takes you back to the roots of popular tradition. And to conclude, homemade desserts will accompany diners towards the evening‘s grand finale.
Everything will be accompanied by the unfailing wine of the Oltrepò Pavese, one of the most renowned wine-growing areas in Lombardy. From full-bodied reds to fresh and sparkling whites, the local wine will be the perfect complement to each dish, enhancing the flavours and completing the sensory experience.
