About Motosalsicciata

The Motosalsicciata of Voltana is the festival that unites the passion for two wheels and the taste of Romagna cuisine, in the heart of the hamlet of Voltana, in the Municipality of Lugo (Province of Ravenna). For an entire weekend in April, Piazza dell'Unità fills with motorcycles, food stalls dedicated to sausage, and live concerts. The highlight is Sunday's motorcycle rally, with a motorcycle tour through the countryside of Bassa Romagna and a lottery draw for a motorcycle. A popular, free event deeply connected to the territory.

The festival of engines and sausage

The Motosalsicciata of Voltana is an event now rooted in the spring calendar of the Bassa Romagna. It takes place in Voltana, a populous hamlet of the Municipality of Lugo, in the Province of Ravenna (Emilia-Romagna), and over the years has become one of the most characteristic and anticipated motorcycle rallies in the region. The name itself, a fusion of "moto" (motorcycle) and "salsicciata" (sausage feast), tells the soul of the event: the meeting between the passion for two wheels and the Romagna gastronomic tradition, with grilled sausage as the main star.

A weekend of engines, taste, and music

For three days, Piazza dell'Unità and the surrounding streets transform into a large festival village. The food stall is the beating heart of the event: sausage, piadina, local specialties, and beer accompany lunches and dinners, with takeaway service also available. Alongside good food, each evening offers live music and DJ sets, with tribute bands, local groups, and themed evenings that liven up the village until late.

Sunday's motorcycle rally

The most anticipated moment is Sunday, dedicated to the motorcycle gathering. Bikers gather in Voltana for the motorcycle tour through the roads of the Romagna plain, with a stop for an aperitif, before returning for a convivial lunch and the lottery draw, which each year offers a new motorcycle as a prize. It is a rally open to all enthusiasts, from vintage motorcycles to maxi enduro, in a festive and friendly atmosphere that is the true hallmark of the event.

A true village festival

Organized by a group of volunteers with the patronage of the Municipality of Lugo, the Motosalsicciata maintains the authentic spirit of the village festivals of the Bassa Romagna: free entry, volunteering, local products, and a family atmosphere. It is the perfect opportunity for those who want to discover Voltana and its surroundings, combining the charm of engines with the genuine flavor of Romagna.
