About Festival dal Bigul al Torch
The Bigoli al Torchio of Polesine
The Festa dal Bigul al Torch is the festival that celebrates bigoli al torchio every end of August in Ceneselli, a town in the upper Polesine region, province of Rovigo. These are long, rough traditional pasta strands, handmade with the characteristic wooden press (the bigolaro) which gives the dish its dialectal name.
Many Variations on the Table
The heart of the festival is the gastronomic stand of the Pro Loco Ceneselli, which offers bigoli in numerous variations: with sardines, duck ragu, sausage, donkey meat sauce, and many other local specialties. A journey into the flavors of the simple and generous peasant cuisine of Polesine.

A heartfelt and well-attended village festival that has been attracting food lovers and families from all over Polesine and the surrounding provinces for almost twenty years.
