Milanere Agricultural Fair

A day dedicated to the agriculture of the Susa Valley

The Milanere Agricultural Fair is one of the most cherished rural events in the lower Susa Valley. It takes place in the village of Almese, in the province of Turin, and every year it attracts a crowd of farmers, exhibitors, families, and rural life enthusiasts for a full Sunday. Created to promote local agriculture, regional products, and Piedmontese rural traditions, the fair has grown edition after edition to become a landmark event for the entire valley.

The heart of the day is the livestock exhibition, featuring the "barà pustertaler" cattle breed typical of the alpine valleys, alongside barnyard animals and a rich display of agricultural machinery. A market of local products and handicrafts winds through the village streets, where producers, breeders, and artisans from the Susa Valley offer cheeses, cured meats, honey, preserves, and handmade goods.

The fair is a succession of demonstrations and shows that bring the whole day to life:

• Equestrian show and falconry, organized by industry associations;

• Roving music and country dance groups that involve the public;
• Flag-throwers from the City of Avigliana.
