Sagra dei Bigoli di Casale di Roncoferraro (Bigoli Festival of Casale di Roncoferraro)

The Sagra dei Bigoli di Casale di Roncoferraro is an unmissable opportunity for lovers of traditional Lombard cuisine. Throughout July, from the 1st to the 31st, the Circolo di Paese on Via XI Febbraio transforms into an open-air workshop where bigoli, the most iconic long and rustic pasta of eastern Lombardy, is celebrated in all its variations. With their characteristic texture and genuine flavor, bigoli embody the soul of Mantuan gastronomy, passed down through generations and prepared according to the most authentic recipes. This event is far more than a simple food street—it's a true popular celebration dedicated to Sant'Eurosia, patroness of the fields, uniting the local community in a celebration of their culinary and cultural identity. Alongside the undisputed stars of the evening, bigoli in all their forms, the table is enriched with traditional Mantuan dishes such as risotto alla pilota, pork grills, steaks, and horse stew, accompanied by local cheeses enhanced by mostarda. Each dish tells stories of fertile lands and gastronomic knowledge deeply rooted in the territory. With the stand opening at 7:30 PM every evening, the Sagra dei Bigoli offers a complete food and wine experience that goes beyond a simple meal: it's an immersion into local culture, a moment of authentic conviviality where food becomes a universal language of sharing and tradition. An event not to be missed to rediscover the authentic flavors of eastern Lombardy and celebrate together the gastronomic roots of Roncoferraro.
