Marubino Festival

Marubino, the heart of Cremonese cuisine

The Marubino Festival in Casteldidone, a municipality in the Province of Cremona, celebrates one of the region's symbolic dishes: marubino, a small egg pasta raviolo filled with meat. Traditionally served in broth (often the "three-meat broth") or with butter and sage, it is a preparation that tells the gastronomic history of the Bassa cremonese. The festival makes it the absolute protagonist, in a celebration that in 2026 reaches its twentieth edition.

Handmade by the town's housewives

What makes this festival special is its authenticity: the marubini are prepared by hand by the town's housewives, according to the ancient recipe passed down from generation to generation. Alongside the signature dish, the menu offers mixed boiled meats, Cremonese cured meats, sbrisolona cake, and local wines, for a complete journey into Cremonese gastronomic tradition.

Music, folklore, and village games

The Marubino Festival is not just about food: the program includes popular music, folk performances, village games, and exhibitions dedicated to peasant culture. It is the typical formula of a village festival in the Bassa padana, where good food is accompanied by conviviality and the rediscovery of local traditions.

A community celebration

Organized by the Pro Loco Casteldidone, the festival is the main event of the year for this small town in the cremasco-casalasco area. For visitors, it is an opportunity to taste marubino made as it once was, in a genuine and welcoming setting, far from mass tourist routes.
