LangArte

LangArte: the village of Rocca Cigliè tells its story

LangArte is the annual spring event that puts the spotlight on the small town of Rocca Cigliè, nestled among the hills of the Alta Langa in the province of Cuneo (Piedmont). Created to promote the region and its roots, the festival combines art, culture, popular traditions, and local products into a single day of celebration, attracting visitors from across the region and highlighting the gastronomic and artisanal excellence of the Langa.

Between art and historical heritage

The common thread of LangArte is the dialogue between art and heritage. The heart of the day consists of guided tours of the village's iconic landmarks, organized by the Italian Institute of Castles as part of the National Castle Day: the Chapel of the Assumption, with its precious 15th-century frescoes, the civic tower, and the ancient community oven, a living testament to village life. The Cultural Center hosts an art exhibition, such as the watercolor displays dedicated in recent years to the landscapes and colors of the hills.

Flavors and traditions of the Langa

In Piazza Balcone di Langa, you will find food and wine stalls alongside artistic and craft stands, where you can taste and purchase typical local products. A must-try is the traditional afternoon snack featuring curniele, prepared by the Amici del Forno Association, followed by a sunset aperitif that concludes the day in a convivial atmosphere.

A celebration for the whole community

Identity, culture, and community

LangArte is much more than a village fair: it is an opportunity to discover the Alta Langa, away from mass tourism, by celebrating its beauty, landscape, and sense of community. In recent years, the event has also seen the participation of the Province of Cuneo, confirming its role as a showcase for local excellence. It is a day that unites identity, culture, and hospitality, perfect for discovering an authentic corner of Piedmont.
