About Country Festival
The Bardino Vecchio Festival
The Bardino Vecchio Country Festival is the summer festival of the hamlet of the same name in Tovo San Giacomo, in the province of Savona. It takes place in Piazza della Chiesa, under the characteristic Romanesque bell tower that dominates the village, in a setting of great charm.
Flavors of Tradition
The stars of the festival are the traditional dishes of the Ligurian hinterland: homemade ravioli, spit-roasted pork, and mushroom tagliatelle, accompanied by the genuine flavors of the valley. Simple and abundant cuisine that tells of the community's bond with its land.
A Continuing Tradition
Organized by the Parish of San Giovanni Battista, the festival has decades of history and is a gathering moment for the hamlet and neighboring communities. With free admission, it is an opportunity to discover an authentic corner of the Savona hinterland and taste the flavors of the Ligurian valleys.
