About Muscolata d'estate
Mussels take centre stage
The Muscolata d'estate delle Cappe Turchine is one of the tastiest food festivals of the summer in Loano, on the Riviera Ligure di Ponente, in the province of Savona. The event celebrates mussels — known as 'muscoli' in the Ligurian dialect — the stars of a great popular festival on the seafront.
A seaside celebration
On Loano's seafront, the stands of the Cappe Turchine group offer mussels prepared according to tradition, accompanied by other specialities and the unmissable convivial atmosphere of Ligurian festivals. An evening of good food by the sea, in one of the most popular stretches of the Riviera.
The tradition of the Cappe Turchine
Organised by the historic Loano group, the Cappe Turchine, the Muscolata is an eagerly awaited event on Loano's summer calendar, attracting residents and tourists every year to enjoy the flavours of the sea together.
