Ravioli, roast pork cooked over a fire and valley flavors under the Romanesque bell tower
The Sagra Campestre di Bardino Vecchio is the summer festival of the hamlet of the same name in Tovo San Giacomo, in the province of Savona. It takes place in Piazza della Chiesa, under the characteristic Romanesque bell tower that dominates the village, in a setting of great charm.
The stars of the festival are the traditional dishes of the Ligurian hinterland's peasant tradition: homemade ravioli, pork roasted over a fire, and tagliatelle with mushrooms, accompanied by the genuine flavors of the valley. Simple and abundant cuisine, telling the story of the community's connection to its land.
Organized by the Parish of San Giovanni Battista, the festival has decades of history and is a gathering moment for the hamlet and neighboring communities. With free admission, it is an opportunity to discover an authentic corner of the Savona hinterland and taste the flavors of the Ligurian valleys.
For 2026, the Sagra Campestre is expected in the first days of August in the hamlet of Bardino Vecchio, according to the custom that traditionally places it around August 4-6 in Piazza della Chiesa.
This year again, the stands will offer the festival's signature dishes — ravioli, pork roasted over a fire, and tagliatelle with mushrooms — under the village's Romanesque bell tower. The precise dates will be announced by the organizers closer to the event.
The detailed program and dates for 2026 will be announced by the Parish of San Giovanni Battista. Based on recent editions:

Tovo San Giacomo can be reached by car from the A10 motorway (Finale Ligure exit), heading inland. The hamlet of Bardino Vecchio is located along the valley.
