Boccioleto Carnival

In 2025, the Boccioleto Carnival confirmed its vitality within the calendar of Valsesia carnivals, where dozens of villages bring their festivals to life according to traditional customs. That year, the historic masks of Gianperu and Catlina once again animated the village, from the collection tour in the hamlets to the Gran Ballo della Catlina in the theater.

The heart of the festival remained the paniccia, the vegetable soup enriched with salami or tripe cooked in large cauldrons and distributed for free in the square, followed by the community lunch. Organized by the Carnival Committee together with the Pro Loco of Boccioleto, the event once again brought together the entire Valsermenza community, in the Province of Vercelli.
