Elogio della bionda

Elogio della Bionda is an authentic celebration of the Piedmontese blonde chicken, a poultry breed representing the gastronomic excellence of the Villanova d'Asti territory. This bird, with its rich and delicate flavored meat, has become over the decades a symbol of local cuisine, appreciated by chefs and food enthusiasts for the superior quality that distinguishes every dish. During the three days of the festival, visitors will discover how this extraordinary ingredient is transformed into traditional dishes, often accompanied by fresh vegetables grown in the surrounding area. The event offers far more than a simple culinary experience: it is a complete immersion in Piedmontese food and wine culture. Alongside gastronomic stands where you can savor local specialties, street food areas allow you to enjoy innovative reinterpretations of traditional dishes, while exhibitions dedicated to the chicken breed explore the historical and biological aspects of this rural heritage. Cultural moments, enlivened by concerts with choirs and other performances, create a festive and engaging atmosphere. Perfect for families and food and wine enthusiasts, the festival pays particular attention to children as well, with playful activities and entertainment that transform the fair into an occasion for fun for everyone. Villanova d'Asti thus prepares to welcome visitors from all over Italy, uniting tradition, authentic flavors, and conviviality in a celebration that is not merely a festival, but a living testimony to a culinary heritage to be preserved and passed down.
