Pietra Ligure, capital of sweetness

In Pietra Ligure, a lively seaside town in the Province of Savona, Dolcissima Pietra is the grand festival dedicated to desserts and dessert wines. It takes place in September in the historic centre and for over twenty years has attracted gourmands and pastry enthusiasts from all over the Riviera. Funded by the Liguria Region as an Authentic Ligurian Event, it is now an unmissable end-of-summer appointment.

Desserts, wines, and workshops

The event offers an exhibition-market of desserts and dessert wines, with stands from pastry chefs and producers. The programme is full of initiatives: tasting workshops, Baby Chef workshops for the little ones, the Meeting della Dolcezza with the Ligurian Chefs Union, the Packaging Corner, and the Dolcissimo Contest, the competition that awards the best pastry creations.

Not just desserts: the Bellissima review

Since 2019, Dolcissima Pietra has been enhanced by the Bellissima cultural review, which complements the gastronomic festival with concerts, theatre performances, book presentations, and conferences. Shop windows are decorated with a theme, contributing to a captivating atmosphere throughout the historic centre. For those who love pastry and want to discover Pietra Ligure at the end of summer, Dolcissima Pietra is an event not to be missed.
