About Pizzoccheri & Sciatt Festival
Valtellina in the City
The Pizzoccheri and Sciatt Festival brings the mountain cuisine of Valtellina to the Municipality of Legnano (Province of Milan), thanks to the Contrada San Bernardino, one of the eight districts of the Palio. In the covered spaces of via Somalia 13, the district sets up an entirely indoor hall, ideal for enjoying typical dishes even in the heart of winter.
The Valtellina Menu
- Pizzoccheri: buckwheat pasta with savoy cabbage, potatoes, butter, and Casera cheese
- Sciatt: crispy fritters with a melting cheese center
- Valtellina-style Stew with taragna polenta
- Desserts such as buckwheat cake with berry jam and chocolate panna cotta
A District Tradition
Like the other festivals of the Palio districts, this is also a moment of strong community cohesion: the members of San Bernardino take care of the kitchen and service, welcoming citizens and visitors in a convivial atmosphere. The covered and heated hall makes the event suitable for families and those seeking the robust flavors of the mountains in mid-February, just a short walk from the center of Legnano.

From February 6th to 8th, 2026, the Contrada San Bernardino in Legnano transforms its premises into a corner of Valtellina with the Pizzoccheri and Sciatt Festival. In a covered hall, visitors can enjoy typical Lombard mountain dishes.
