Sagra del bagnun

On the Ligurian coast, in the picturesque fishing village of Riva Trigoso, the Sagra del Bagnun celebrates one of the most authentic dishes in Ligurian culinary tradition. The absolute star is bagnun, an ancient soup born among fishermen's nets, prepared with fresh anchovies, tomato, garlic and bread, which embodies the essence of the sea and the genuine simplicity of coastal cuisine. Served in generous portions and accompanied by local wines, bagnun transforms this festival into a true sensory journey.

The event, which takes place just a few meters from the beach, creates a unique atmosphere where the scent of sea salt blends with the aroma of the most authentic Ligurian cooking. Beyond the main courses, visitors can discover other local specialties and immerse themselves in a complete gastronomic experience. Cultural and entertainment offerings further enrich the festival with maritime reenactments, live concerts and artisan markets.

This festival represents much more than a simple food and wine celebration: it is a moment of community celebration where the sea is not merely a scenic backdrop, but a living and pulsing ingredient. An unmissable stop for those who want to savor authentic Ligurian maritime culture and understand how local culinary tradition is deeply linked to the history of fishermen.
