Sagra della raviola

The Sagra della Raviola of Trebbo is a celebration with deep roots, tracing its origins back to the 17th century when the local community celebrated the Solemn Forty Hours with moments of conviviality and gastronomic sharing. For over two centuries, this festival has animated the streets of Trebbo di Reno, just a few kilometers from Castel Maggiore, becoming an unmissable opportunity to discover the authentic flavors of Bolognese cuisine and the warm atmosphere of a living tradition. The absolute star of the festival is the raviola, a shortcrust pastry sweet filled with Bolognese mustard that was traditionally prepared in the countryside to celebrate St. Joseph. The popular saying ‹Ora et Raviola› testifies to the close bond between the spiritual and gastronomic dimensions that characterizes this festival, where faith and culinary tradition are inseparably intertwined. During the three days of the event, the village streets fill with colors, music and joy with parades of allegorical floats, performances and exhibitions engaging visitors of all ages. The event preserves its original religious soul with solemn Holy Mass, Eucharistic procession and a blessing over the town, while squares and streets come alive with a lively market where you can discover typical raviolas and other local specialties. A perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in a festive and authentic atmosphere, where spirituality, tradition and genuine Bolognese cuisine blend together.
