Gnocchi and Salamella Festival

The Gnocchi and Salamella Festival is an unmissable mid-August event in Pognana Lario. Every August 16th, for the feast of the patron saint Saint Roch, the church square fills with aromas and people: Pro Loco volunteers handmade gnocchi, served with various sauces, while salamelle cook on the grill. The day, opened by mass, concludes in the evening with an orchestra and dancing. A tradition that since 1974 has united the community of the small Larian village in a celebration of taste and conviviality.
