P'carìa – The Pig in the Square

The 20th edition of P'carìa celebrated an important milestone in 2025 for the pig-in-the-square festival in Campogalliano. On Sunday, January 19, from 9 AM, the Salumificio San Martino managed the preparation of cured meats while local pork butchers demonstrated wood-fired cooking techniques for cracklings and head cheese in cauldrons.

Along the town's streets, the Arteingegno craft market, the food and wine market, and the general market unfolded, offering street food, cured meats, cheeses, and wines. From 10:30 AM, the Circolo Polisportiva Campogalliano offered gnocco fritto, polenta with ribs, cotechino with beans, and sandwiches with porchetta and zampone. The day was enlivened by music from rock bands, children's games, and the traditional address by the Famiglia Pavironica from the municipal balcony. At 4:30 PM, the 10th Palio of the Accademia Judices Salatii crowned Manuel and Gabriele Grisendi as Kings of Cracklings.
