Fera d'la tonda

The Fera d'la Tonda of Costigliole Saluzzo is an unmissable event for anyone wanting to discover one of Piedmont's gastronomic treasures: the Tonda apricot, cultivated in the hills of the Saluzzese region since the 19th century. This extraordinary fruit, known locally as 'armugnan', is appreciated throughout Italy for its unique flavor, superior quality, and rich content of vitamin A and potassium. During the festival, Via Vittorio Veneto transforms into a lively fair-market where local farmers and artisans showcase their excellence, from fresh apricots to prized artisanal products such as purees, juices, nectars, and syrup-preserved fruits perfect for pastry-making.

The event is designed for the whole family, with a rich program combining entertainment and culture: traditional dances, art exhibitions, and children's activities will enliven the day. Those passionate about history cannot miss the opportunity to visit Costigliole's magnificent castles, extraordinary examples of Piedmontese architecture, which will open their doors precisely for this occasion: Palazzo Sarriod de la Tour, Palazzo Giriodi, Castello Rosso, and Castlot Alby.

If you seek an authentic experience in the heart of the Piedmont hills, where agricultural tradition and historical-artistic heritage meet, the Fera d'la Tonda is the perfect event to taste, discover, and celebrate local gastronomic excellence.
