Migole Festival

Migole, the Soul of the Mountains

The Migole Festival is held in Malonno (Province of Brescia), in the upper Valle Camonica. The star is migole, a traditional dish from the humble mountain cuisine prepared with chestnut and buckwheat flour, enriched with alpine butter, cured meats, and local cheeses. A simple and hearty dish that tells the story of a community accustomed to facing the hardships of high-altitude life.

A Growing Festival

In 2026, the event marks a turning point: the festival doubles its scope and officially joins the prestigious 'Sagre di Qualità' circuit promoted by Unpli, the national federation of Pro Loco associations. This recognition rewards the authenticity and organization of the festival and, as the organizers emphasize, represents 'a new starting point' for Malonno.

Taste, Education, and Territory

Organized by the Pro Loco Malonnese, the festival is not just about food. The program includes the educational project 'Castagnella' for schools, aperitif and dinner evenings by reservation, a guided tour of the Ferromin mine, and entertainment such as a quiz game. It's a way to connect food with the discovery of the valley's mining and natural history.

Valle Camonica to Experience

Valle Camonica, famous for its UNESCO World Heritage rock carvings, offers a fascinating setting in Malonno. The Migole Festival thus becomes an opportunity to explore an authentic mountain territory, far from mass tourism, and to rediscover the flavors and traditions of its communities.
