About Festa del Pinzin

In the hamlet of Runzi, Bagnolo di Po, the Festa del Pinzin celebrates one of the most beloved specialities of Polesine cuisine: pinzin, a fried pastry to be enjoyed with cured meats and cheeses. Between late May and early June, the covered stand at the parish grounds offers egg tagliatelle with duck ragù, spätzle with speck, desserts from the trolley, and plenty of conviviality. A genuine village festival, in the heart of the Rovigo countryside, organised by the Sagra di Runzi.

The pinzin, flavour of the Polesine

The Festa del Pinzin di Runzi is one of the most cherished gastronomic festivals in the hamlet of Runzi, in the municipality of Bagnolo di Po, province of Rovigo. The star is the pinzin, the typical fried pastry from Polesine, served hot to be paired with cured meats and cheeses.

Dining between tradition and taste

The covered stand at the parish grounds, in Piazza Runzi 82, offers a rich menu: pinzin with typical cured meats (Venetian, Emilian, Tuscan), prosciutto crudo, artisanal porchetta, or lighter options with cooked ham, bresaola, and cheese. Among the first courses, the egg tagliatelle with duck or meat ragù and the spätzle with speck and cream stand out; to finish, desserts from the trolley.

A community celebration

Organised by the volunteers of the Sagra di Runzi, the festival is a village event that combines good food and socialising in the Polesine countryside. For visitors, it's an opportunity to savour the authentic flavours of the Rovigo area in a family atmosphere, in the Municipality of Bagnolo di Po.
