Festa in Piazza in Rovescala

The festival that opens summer

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.

Local cuisine and Oltrepò wines

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 spirit of a wine village

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.

Among the vineyards of the province of Pavia

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.
