About Alpine Festival

Straddling late May and early June, the Alpini Group of Almenno San Bartolomeo, in the province of Bergamo, organizes its traditional Alpine Festival. A village feast that brings the genuine cuisine of the 'penne nere' (black hats) to the table, with dinners every evening and a grand fixed-menu lunch on June 2nd, taking advantage of the Republic Day long weekend. Between gastronomy, conviviality, and the spirit of service that distinguishes the Alpini, it is an event eagerly awaited by the community of western Bergamo.

The Alpini Celebrate

In Almenno San Bartolomeo, at the gateway to the Valle Imagna in the province of Bergamo, the Alpine Festival is the event with which the local Alpini Group opens the summer festival season. The event is traditionally held between late May and early June, to take advantage of the long weekend for the Republic Day holiday on June 2nd.

The Cuisine of the 'Penne Nere'

The heart of the festival is the cuisine, with dinners offered every evening and the highlight being the fixed-menu lunch on June 2nd. It's the convivial and generous cuisine typical of alpine festivals, served with the spirit of hospitality and volunteerism that characterizes the 'penne nere'.

A Festival on the River

The festival takes place in a festival area along the course of the Brembo river, in a natural setting that makes it particularly pleasant on early summer evenings. For visitors to the province of Bergamo, it's an opportunity to get to know the world of Alpine associations and the authentic conviviality of village festivals in the Bergamo area.
