In Campagna col Figo Moro

The black fig that tells the story of Caneva

At the end of August, when the orchards at the foot of the Castle are laden and ripe, Caneva celebrates its most precious product: the Figo Moro da Caneva, a fig with dark skin, red and very sweet pulp, protected by a consortium that has revived a nearly extinct cultivation over the years. From a handful of producers, it has grown to about fifty consortium members and around two thousand plants: a small agricultural rebirth that the "In Campagna col Figo Moro" event stages in the most convivial way possible.

A festival in the garden of Villa Frova

The heart of the event is the garden of Villa Frova, in the centre of Caneva, which for an entire day is filled with food and wine stalls, sales stands for fresh Figo Moro and its derivatives, jams, sauces, and pastry products. Visitors stroll among the exhibitors, participate in guided tours of the villa and its surroundings, and discover how this fruit pairs equally well with sweet and savoury dishes.

Experiences in the countryside and on the water

In addition to the gastronomic aspect, the festival offers experiences that connect the product to its landscape. You can book fruit picking experiences in the Figo Moro orchards, to personally feel the effort and care behind each crate of figs, and electric boat trips to the Palù di Livenza, the UNESCO-recognized inland bog-lagoon, a few kilometres from the town, where the silence of the water tells another story of the territory.

Shows, tastings, and atmosphere

The day unfolds with entertainment for families and children from the morning, guided tastings of local products, and comedy shows: in recent years, the famous I Papu, a beloved Friulian comedy duo, have been the stars. Towards the evening, the catering service begins with regional dishes and specialties based on Figo Moro, while visitors enjoy an aperitif in the villa's courtyard. The event is organized with the collaboration of the Municipality of Caneva, the Chamber of Commerce Pordenone-Udine, and the Protection Consortium, under the patronage of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region.
