Fiano ci cova

A festival celebrating eggs and the land

Every year, in early June, the small town of Fiano, in the Province of Turin, comes alive for "Fiano ci cova", a fair centered on a simple and symbolic product: the chicken egg, an emblem of Piedmontese farming tradition and animal husbandry. The event takes place in the town's historic center, at the gateway to the regional capital, where the Turin plains give way to the first slopes of the Valli di Lanzo.

The origins: from the "Fèra d'j caplìn" to today

Established in 2017, the fair carries on the legacy of the historic "Fèra d'j caplìn", reinterpreting it with a contemporary twist to showcase local produce and traditional crafts. The initiative is organized by the Municipality of Fiano in collaboration with Coldiretti, the Pro Loco, and the Azienda Agricola Fantolino—which raises its animals right here in Fiano—under the patronage of the Metropolitan City of Turin.

The market and local excellence

The heart of the day is the large zero-kilometer food market: local farmers and producers present and sell cheeses, cured meats, honey, preserves, vegetables, and, of course, fresh eggs. Alongside the farmers' market, "Arte, Mestieri e... Fantasia in Fiera" (Art, Crafts, and... Imagination at the Fair) comes to life, dedicated to artisans, cultural operators, volunteer associations, merchants, and third-sector organizations.

Music, games, and much more

The day is packed with entertainment for all ages:

• Open day of the Banda Filarmonica Fianese, with the chance to try out various musical instruments;
• Vintage car exhibition;
• Ludobus with over 80 wooden games for children;
• Skatepark;
• Sports performances by the Body Power gym;
• Food court with local specialties.

During "Fiano ci cova," the town also hosts the Preview of the Cantoira Craft Fair, designed to highlight the craftsmanship and excellence of the valleys.

An event for the whole family

With its market stalls, countryside scents, live music, and activities for children, "Fiano ci cova" is the perfect opportunity to spend an early summer Sunday immersed in the flavors and traditions of Piedmont, just a stone's throw from Turin.
