About Great Gastronomic Festival of Giustenice

The Great Gastronomic Festival of Giustenice is the summer event that every July fills Piazza San Michele with the flavors of Ligurian tradition. For several evenings, stands run by parish volunteers offer ravioli, gnocchi, grilled meat, snails, and the unmissable zucchini fritters, accompanied by live music. An authentic village festival, passed down through generations, that combines good food, conviviality, and the community spirit of one of the most characteristic villages in the hinterland of Savona.

The flavors of summer in Giustenice

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

A traditional menu

The gastronomic offering 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 inland cuisine, made with simple ingredients and home recipes.

A tradition inherited by the young

The festival 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 festival into a true community celebration.

The Savona hinterland to discover

Participating in the Great Gastronomic Festival 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.
