Masi Torello Festival
The village festival with piadine, vintage cars, and Ferrarese tradition
About Masi Torello Festival
A Village Festival in the Heart of the Ferrara Plain
The Masi Torello Festival is the event that every year, between the end of May and the beginning of June, brings together the entire community of the small Municipality of Masi Torello, in the province of Ferrara, in the heart of the Emilia-Romagna plain. It's not a big, headline-grabbing festival, but an authentic village fair: the kind of celebration that is part of a village's identity and brings together families, associations, and visitors from neighboring towns around the same squares.
Where it Takes Place
The heart of the event is Piazza del Mercato, alongside the nearby Piazzale Primavera. Here, stalls and the food stand are set up, while evenings and events are spread throughout the town's streets. The formula is the tried-and-tested one of Emilia festivals: you arrive at dusk, eat together, and stay out late.
What to Eat
The festival's cuisine is simple and deeply rooted in the region. The absolute star is the piadina, a gastronomic symbol of Romagna and now widespread throughout the Ferrara area, accompanied by traditional sweets and pastries. The food stand is managed by Pro Loco volunteers and has always been the evening meeting point of the festival.
A Program for Everyone
Alongside the food, the Festival offers a rich calendar of initiatives designed to engage all age groups: musical evenings, sports demonstrations, a night walk through the countryside, a youth football tournament, and a cycling tour. However, the most anticipated moment remains the vintage car rally, organized in collaboration with the Officina Ferrarese ASI Club, which brings dozens of historic vehicles and numerous enthusiasts to Masi Torello.
Who Organizes It
The event is coordinated by the Pro Loco of Masi Torello with the support of the Municipality and the participation of numerous local associations, including Avis, the cycling group Ruota Libera, and the sports club Masi Torello Voghiera. It is an example of how, in the small towns of the province of Ferrara, volunteer work still manages to keep community traditions alive.
