La Lucciolata

La Lucciolata in Castelletto d'Orba

La Lucciolata is a special evening that brings the Borgata Bozzolina to life every year at the beginning of summer. Located in one of the most picturesque hamlets of the municipality of Castelletto d'Orba, in the province of Alessandria, this non-competitive walk is suitable for everyone. It winds through the lush woods above the small village, offering a chance to immerse yourself in nature just as the fireflies return to light up the summer nights.

A magical night of light and nature

The event is described as a magical night of dancing lights and variety performances: along the route and at designated stops, participants encounter animations, performances, and little surprises that turn the walk into a poetic experience. The darkness of the countryside, the lanterns, and the flight of the fireflies create a suspended atmosphere, far from the rhythms of the city, which is particularly loved by families and children.

The Museo del Torchio in Bozzolina

The meeting point is set at the Museo del Torchio, the heart of Borgata Bozzolina. It houses one of the oldest wine presses in Piedmont, once used for the production of walnut oil: a symbol of the rural heritage of this Ovadese territory, on the border between Monferrato and the Ligurian Apennines. La Lucciolata thus becomes a way to rediscover a place rich in history and popular traditions.

An event for the whole family

• Non-competitive evening walk, open to everyone
• Entertainment and variety shows along the route

La Lucciolata confirms itself as one of the most evocative summer initiatives in Castelletto d'Orba, capable of combining nature, community, and that touch of magic that only early summer evenings can offer in the small villages of Piedmont.
