Mountain cuisine and music at the Oratory
Every spring, Torre de' Roveri, a town in the hilly belt of the province of Bergamo, hosts its Alpine Festival, one of the most cherished events in the local calendar. The event takes place in the Oratory area, in Piazza del Donatore, and brings the flavors, sounds, and atmosphere of the mountains to the town, following the great tradition of the 'penne nere' (Alpini soldiers).
The heart of the festival is the traditional alpine cuisine: hearty and genuine dishes from the Bergamasque and mountain tradition, served in a festive atmosphere that brings together families, friends, and enthusiasts. The evening events are accompanied by music and the typical conviviality of Alpini festivals, where food becomes an occasion for meeting and community.
The event focuses on two intense evenings, enlivened by the cuisine, music, and the spirit of service of the organizing group. It's the classic event that marks the arrival of good weather, capable of attracting visitors from neighboring towns and strengthening the bonds of a small community in the Bergamasca province.
Alpine festivals like the one in Torre de' Roveri are more than just a gastronomic celebration: they represent the vitality of alpine associations in the territory, guardians of values of solidarity, memory, and attachment to roots. Between a mountain dish and an evening of music, the Alpine Festival tells the story of a town's identity and an entire tradition, that of the Alpini, deeply rooted in the Bergamo lands.
The 2026 edition of the Alpine Festival enlivens Torre de' Roveri on Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 May at the Oratory, in Piazza del Donatore, from 7:30 PM to 11:59 PM. Two evenings of traditional alpine cuisine, music, and celebration in the spirit of the 'penne nere', organized by the local Alpini Group.
