Edition 2025 — Carcavegia

In 2025, the Carcavegia Bonfire returned to Premosello-Chiovenda on the evening of January 5th, the eve of Epiphany. Amidst horns, cowbells, and the evening lighting of the effigies, the Ossola village renewed one of its most beloved folk rituals, featuring hot chocolate, mulled wine, and a visit from the Befana for the little ones.

The 2025 edition of the Carcavegia Bonfire took place on January 5th in Premosello-Chiovenda. In the afternoon, starting at 2:00 PM, children equipped with horns and cowbells paraded through the village with the effigies, while at 8:45 PM, the traditional bonfire was lit as a symbol of good luck for the new year. The evening, organized by the Pro Loco, included the distribution of hot chocolate and mulled wine, as well as a visit from the Befana, who brought sweets and coal to the children. The celebration then continued at the Arci Club. As per tradition, the hamlet of Colloro also celebrated its own Carcavegia.
