About Festa di Inizio Estate
Summer Ignites in Bonzicco
In June, the hamlet of Bonzicco – in Dignano, in the hilly Friuli region – welcomes the arrival of summer with its village festival. The Festa di Inizio Estate in Piazza lasts an entire week and offers a program designed for all ages, featuring music, sports, nature, and good food.
The Flavours of the Village
The star of the food stalls is the frico di Bonzicco, a local version of the symbolic Friulian dish, accompanied by mixed grills, draft beer, and local wines. Authentic cuisine served in a festive atmosphere, with communal tables and fun.
Music, Fishing, and Nature
Evenings alternate between DJ sets, band concerts, and pop-rock nights, with dancing under the stars. During the day, there's space for the fishing competition for members, nature walks to discover the area's sinkholes, cheesemaking demonstrations ("Il Cjantòn dal Casaro"), and entertainment for children with face painting and games.
A Community Celebration
