Fasulìn de l’öc cun le cùdeghe

The 34th edition of the 'Fasulìn de l'öc cun le cùdeghe' food festival returns to Pizzighettone to celebrate one of the most authentic dishes of Cremona's culinary tradition. From October 30 to November 8, 2026, the ancient walls of this medieval fortress transform into a fascinating setting where you can taste stewed black-eyed peas with pork rind—a simple yet flavourful dish that embodies generations of Lombard folk cuisine. Organized by the Gruppo Volontari Mura (Volunteer Walls Group), this event offers a unique opportunity to rediscover the genuine flavours of yesteryear, when recipes emerged from the necessity and creativity of farming families. Every dish served directly supports the maintenance of Pizzighettone's historic fortified walls, turning the festival into a civic heritage preservation project. A tradition born in November 1993 that continues to raise funds and passion to protect this symbol of local history. For those who love authentic regional cooking and atmosphere steeped in history, this festival is an essential destination: an immersion into genuine taste and the solidarity of a community that preserves its gastronomic roots.
