Acciugando

The anchovy takes center stage in Camporosso

Acciugando is the festival dedicated to the Ligurian Sea anchovy held in Camporosso, a municipality in the Nervia Valley in the province of Imperia. The anchovy, a humble yet precious small blue fish, is one of the symbols of Ligurian seafood cuisine: fried, marinated, stuffed, or preserved in salt, it tells centuries of Riviera gastronomic tradition.

A young and tasty festival

Although it's a recently established event, Acciugando has already won over a loyal audience. The Pro Loco 'Gli amici del Mulino' offers anchovies in various preparations at the Palatenda Bigauda, an equipped venue that guarantees the festival in any weather condition. Tastings are accompanied by music and a cheerful, convivial atmosphere.

The flavors of western Liguria

The festival is an opportunity to rediscover the seafood cuisine of western Liguria, made with simple and genuine products. The anchovy, in particular, is linked to the tradition of fishing and preservation, and in this festival, it becomes the absolute star, showcased in its many gastronomic variations.

Camporosso and the Nervia Valley

Overlooking the Nervia stream, a few kilometers from the sea and the French border, Camporosso is a lively town on the Riviera dei Fiori. Acciugando enriches its event calendar with a festival that combines gastronomy, music, and social interaction, telling the maritime soul of this corner of western Liguria.
