Calsù Festival of Vione
A gastronomic walk through the village in the upper Valle Camonica
About Calsù Festival
The calsù, a recipe passed down through generations
The Calsù Festival celebrates the signature dish of Vione, a small municipality in the upper Valle Camonica in the province of Brescia. The calsù are stuffed ravioli prepared following an ancient mountain recipe, passed down through generations: a pasta pouch that encapsulates the flavors of the Camuna tradition.
A walk through the hamlets
The festival takes place as an evening gastronomic walk through the historic center of the village. Along the route, which starts from Piazza Vittoria, historic residences, haylofts, and courtyards normally closed to the public open up, where visitors can stop to taste the calsù and other local specialties. An original way to discover the architecture and atmosphere of an alpine village.
More than just a festival
Alongside the gastronomy, the evening offers street artists, shows, concerts, and games for children, as well as guided tours of the historic center. The event, organized by the Municipality of Vione with the collaboration of the Pro Loco, has limited attendance: registration is mandatory and places are limited. An event that, on summer evenings, fills the village streets and tells the story of the identity of the upper Valle Camonica.
