Great Gastronomic Festival of Giustenice

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.
