Fera d'la Tonda — Tonda Apricot Festival of Costigliole Saluzzo

The fourth edition of the Fera d'la Tonda, on Sunday, July 13, 2025, drew visitors from all over the province of Cuneo and beyond. From 9:00 AM, the historic center hosted the market of Tonda apricots with producers and artisans, accompanied by the traveling concert of the Costigliole Saluzzo Musical Band and the inauguration of the "Istantanee" photography exhibition by Gianpiero Ferrigno.

In the morning, Mass was held with the Farmer's Prayer, followed by the reception of apricot delegations, a conference on climate change, and the awarding of the Tonda d'Oro, presented to Flavio Lovera of the Albifrutta cooperative. The new addition of the year, the amateur dessert competition "Fantasie di Tonda", was a great success, won by the "Tonda Stellata" by Elda Magnano. In the afternoon, free guided tours of Hans Clemer's frescoes and the castles took place, alongside Occitan dances, falconry, equestrian shows, and children's entertainment.
