Sagra degli Gnocchi e del Carpione

Gnocchi and Carpione

The Sagra degli Gnocchi e del Carpione is the gastronomic festival of Albavilla, a municipality in the Triangolo Lariano in the province of Como. Organized by the Pro Loco of Albavilla, it takes its name from its two protagonists: gnocchi and carpione, lake fish prepared according to the traditional Larian marinating technique.

Flavors of the Lake

The festival menu focuses on lake carpione, a signature dish of pre-Alpine lake cuisine, along with fish and meat in carpione, gnocchi, sausages, and ribs. It's an opportunity to discover a specialty that reflects the relationship between the Albavilla territory and the world of lakes, where marinating originated as a method of preserving fish and has become a delicious preparation over time.

Village Festival on the Triangolo Lariano

The festival takes place in the Market Area of Via XXV Aprile, in Albavilla, in a village festival atmosphere that combines good food and conviviality. For those visiting the Triangolo Lariano in early summer, it's a chance to taste the authentic flavors of the region and experience the genuine spirit of the festivals organized by the Pro Loco of the province of Como.
