The village festival that announces summer in Rovescala
In Rovescala, a village in the Oltrepò Pavese area of the province of Pavia, the event calendar is marked by wine. After the five Sundays of the 'Primavera dei Vini', which transform the village into a large distributed wine shop in March, it's time for the Festa in Piazza: the event with which the Pro Loco brings the residents and visitors back to the center of the village, awaiting the good season.
Like any self-respecting village festival, the Festa in Piazza revolves around good food: traditional dishes from the Oltrepò region accompanied by local wines, first and foremost the famous Bonarda that has made Rovescala famous. The square comes alive with tables, stalls, and music, in a festive atmosphere that reflects the typical conviviality of wine-producing villages.
The Festa in Piazza is one of those events that are part of a village's identity: not a large tourist event, but a festival created by the community for the community. It's the time when Rovescala comes together, celebrates, and welcomes those arriving from neighboring towns to discover the hospitality of the Oltrepò region.
Experiencing the Festa in Piazza means entering the rhythm of a village that lives by wine and traditions. For those who love authentic festivals and true flavors, Rovescala and its hills cultivated with vineyards are a must-visit destination during the month of May.
The 2026 edition will reprise the village festival format, with the square of Rovescala enlivened by food stalls, regional wines, and festive moments. The detailed program and exact date will be determined by the Pro Loco of Rovescala in the weeks leading up to the event.
The detailed program for the Festa in Piazza 2026 will be announced by the Pro Loco of Rovescala. The festival traditionally features local cuisine, Oltrepò Pavese wines, and moments of conviviality and music in the village center.
