Cellarinia - Flower, Plant and Ceramics Market Fair

Cellarinia, the sprawling garden of Cellarengo

Every spring, the small village of Cellarengo, in the province of Asti, transforms into a grand market fair dedicated to greenery, craftsmanship, and fine food. Cellarinia is an event that brings nurserymen, ceramicists, food producers, and selected artisans to the streets and squares of the town, in a journey that unfolds from morning until sunset. The heart of the event is Piazza Castelvecchio, but the entire historic center is involved, creating an immersive atmosphere that invites you to stroll at your leisure.

A tribute to Maria Luisa Sotti

The event was born as a tribute to Maria Luisa Sotti, a botanist and writer who was one of Europe's leading experts on aromatic and medicinal herbs, and who had her own nursery-laboratory right here in Cellarengo called "Cellarinia". The event takes its name from this deep bond with the territory, and each year it explores a different theme centered around the world of plants, flowers, and the fruits of the earth.

What to find at Cellarinia

• Plants and flowers: nurserymen specializing in aromatic and medicinal plants, rare species, and garden plants.
• Artisan ceramics: ceramicists and craftsmen with unique creations for the home and garden.
• Herbal gastronomy: herbal aperitifs, herb-infused lunches, aromatic ice creams, and typical Piedmontese products.
• Workshops and experiences: educational and creative activities for both adults and children.

Culture and outreach

Cellarinia is more than just a market: every edition features meetings with experts, communicators, and producers who share insights into the relationship between nature, science, and culture. The event is recognized by the Piedmont Region and is organized by the Pro Loco of Cellarengo in collaboration with the Gruppo Fritto Mistico, with the support of the Municipality.
