Festa della Pinza alla Munara

The Festa della Pinza alla Munara is an unmissable opportunity to discover and savour one of the most authentic gastronomic specialities of the Polesine region. This crispy and flavourful sweet treat has deep roots in a tradition dating back to the era of the mills that once lined the banks of the Po River: it was the local millers who first prepared this simple yet irresistible dough, made from water, lard and flour, transforming it into a delicacy that remains a star of Stienta's culinary tradition today. Held on 3 and 4 July at Stienta in Piazza Santo Stefano, the event celebrates this rich gastronomic heritage while keeping alive the historical memory of the territory. Food stalls will open from 20:00 onwards, offering visitors the chance to taste the pinza paired with local cured meats, as well as tempting grilled meat and vegetables. A festive and convivial atmosphere will accompany the evenings, thanks to live musical entertainment featuring local artists and tribute bands—the perfect setting for an evening spent in good company, celebrating Polesine gastronomic tradition and the joy of staying out late together. The event is easily accessible: the piazza has dedicated parking nearby and the area is equipped for disabled access. For detailed information and updates, contact the Stienta Tourist Office.
