Grande Sagra Gastronomica di Giustenice

The flavours of summer in Giustenice

When July arrives, Giustenice, a village in the Savona hinterland in Liguria, comes alive with its Grande Sagra Gastronomica. In Piazza San Michele, for several evenings, the community gathers around the table to enjoy the dishes of Ligurian tradition prepared by volunteers.

A traditional menu

The gastronomic offer is rich and typical: ravioli, gnocchi, grilled meat, snails, and the characteristic zucchini fritters, accompanied by local wines. These are dishes that tell the story of Ligurian hinterland cuisine, made with simple ingredients and home recipes.

A tradition passed down to the young

The sagra is organized by the Parish of Saints Lorenzo and Michele with the involvement of the village's young people, a sign of a tradition passed down from generation to generation. The evenings are accompanied by live music, which transforms the sagra into a true community celebration.

The Savona hinterland to discover

Participating in the Grande Sagra Gastronomica means discovering an authentic corner of Liguria, far from the crowded coastal resorts. Giustenice, with its views and its intimate atmosphere, offers the opportunity to experience the Ligurian summer in a genuine and convivial way.
