The great festival of polenta taragna in the heart of the Brembana Valley
About Festa della Taragna
The kingdom of polenta taragna
The Festa della Taragna is the great gastronomic festival of Stabello, a hamlet in the municipality of Zogno, in the province of Bergamo. Dedicated to polenta taragna — polenta enriched with local cheeses and butter — it takes place in September over two weekends at the parish sports field, under the covered structure.
The flavours of the mountains
The absolute star is the taragna, served with the main dishes of mountain cuisine:
- wild boar and roe deer;
- spit-roasted meats and sausages;
- the famous 'el pincia' spit roast, now the second most requested dish after taragna.
The festival is open every evening from 7:00 PM to midnight.
A tradition that attracts thousands of food lovers
The Festa della Taragna, with its forty-year history, attracts thousands of visitors each year who travel many miles from the city and nearby towns to taste a plate of steaming polenta taragna. For the occasion, the centre of Stabello is closed to traffic. It is one of the most famous gastronomic festivals in the Lombardy Region.
