Covo Nostrano Ravioli Festival

The ravioli that tells a town's story

In Covo, a municipality in the Bassa bergamasca known as the "town of murals," the 'raviolo nostrano' is not just a dish: it's a symbol of identity. The Sagra del Raviolo Nostrano (Festival of Local Ravioli), now in its 38th edition in 2025, is one of the most anticipated gastronomic events of autumn in the province of Bergamo. The ravioli are a De.Co. (Denominazione Comunale - Municipal Designation) product, prepared according to a recipe passed down through generations, and are served at the Oratorio San Tarcisio on Via al Castello.

More than just gastronomy: medieval Covo

The festival is much more than a feast for the palate. Its cultural heart is the medieval reenactment "Medioevo Covese" (Medieval Covo), linked to the figure of Bartolomeo Colleoni, the famous condottiero who had strong ties to the region. Traveling shows, a medieval village, and historical parades animate the town center, transforming Covo into a village of yesteryear. Completing the program are guided tours of the famous murals, the historic center, and the small church of Santa Lucia.

A celebration for the whole community

Organized by the Pro Loco Covo along with the Municipality and volunteer associations, the festival is a collective event. Alongside the food stalls, there is a luna park, a market, and to conclude the festivities, an evening fireworks display. A mix of flavors, history, and social interaction makes Covo one of the unmissable autumn destinations in the Orobic plain.

Why it's worth it

The Covo Ravioli Festival is the perfect opportunity to discover an authentic corner of the Bassa bergamasca, with its street art (the murals), certified gastronomic tradition, and historical reenactment. A complete experience that combines taste and culture.
