Sagra della Capra e Fagioli

In the evocative setting of Rocchetta Nervina, a small gem of the Imperia hinterland, one of the most authentic dishes of Ligurian culinary tradition is celebrated: Capra e Fagioli (goat and beans). This iconic dish encapsulates centuries of pastoral and agricultural history, when local communities made the most of the territory's resources, transforming goat meat into flavorful dishes through long and patient stewed cooking.

The Sagra della Capra e Fagioli is the perfect opportunity to discover how the simplicity of ingredients transforms into culinary excellence. Pigna beans, a prized local legume appreciated for its delicacy and unique texture, pair perfectly with tender goat meat, creating a balance of flavors that represents the soul of local gastronomy. During the festival, the narrow streets of the medieval village come alive with convivial tables and food stalls where you can taste not only this specialty but also other traditional dishes of the Ligurian hinterland.

For lovers of authentic cuisine and genuine conviviality, this festival represents a complete immersion into the gastronomic culture of the Imperia area, where each dish tells stories of territories, family traditions passed down through time, and a deep relationship with the land that continues to flourish.
