Giant Spit of Pieve di Soligo

Pieve di Soligo, Spit City since 1956

The Giant Spit of Pieve di Soligo is one of the most famous gastronomic festivals in the Marca Trevigiana, in the province of Treviso. Since 1956, the town in the Prosecco hills has proudly held the title of 'Spit City', and every autumn it renews the tradition of the spit-roasted meat (spiedo allo spiedo), a star dish of Treviso cuisine, in Piazza Caduti nei Lager.

The traditional spit roast

The heart of the festival is the spit roast (spiedo): mixed meats slowly cooked on a spit according to the great gastronomic tradition of the area, the result of the work of almost 200 volunteers from the Pro Loco Pieve di Soligo. The food stall opens in the evening, while on festive days, lunch is also served at noon, in a convivial atmosphere that attracts gourmets from all over the region.

A quality festival

From 2026, the Giant Spit will be recognized as a 'Quality Festival' UNPLI, a mark that the National Union of Pro Loco of Italy awards to events that distinguish themselves for gastronomic quality, organization, and promotion of the territory. A recognition that rewards decades of work and confirms the festival's role as an ambassador of Treviso cuisine.

The Prosecco Hills

Pieve di Soligo, the town of Andrea Zanzotto, is located in the heart of the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Prosecco Hills, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Giant Spit is an opportunity to combine the great spit roast tradition with the local wines, in one of the most evocative landscapes of the Veneto region.
