About Sagra del Carciofo

At the Valle Lomellina festival grounds, the artichoke becomes the star of a sagra (food festival) celebrating traditional Lomellina cuisine. Amidst typical dishes and the genuine atmosphere of village festivals, the Sagra del Carciofo celebrates the authentic flavours of the Pavia plain. Held concurrently with Benvenuti in Lomellina, it's the ideal day for those who want to combine good food and the countryside in the municipality of Valle Lomellina, in the province of Pavia.

The artichoke on the table

The Sagra del Carciofo di Valle Lomellina brings to the village festival grounds, in the province of Pavia, a celebration dedicated to one of the most beloved vegetables of the Lomellina vegetable garden. It is an event that showcases the peasant cuisine of Lomellina, made with local produce, traditional recipes, and conviviality.

The atmosphere of a village sagra

The Valle Lomellina sagra is an authentic event, far from the major tourist circuits and close to the genuine spirit of village festivals. At the festival grounds, you can taste traditional Lomellina dishes, with the artichoke featured in numerous preparations, all within a familiar and welcoming atmosphere.

In the heart of the rice-growing Lomellina

Valle Lomellina is located in the heart of the rice-growing plain of Pavia, a land shaped by rice paddies, springs, and farmhouses. The sagra is part of a rich spring calendar of gastronomic events, making Lomellina a perfect destination for those seeking authentic flavours and rural landscapes.

The Sagra del Carciofo is held on the same days as Benvenuti in Lomellina, the major regional event promoted by GAL Risorsa Lomellina with the support of the Lombardy Region. A weekend when the entire territory opens its doors to the public with farmhouses, villages, and rice paddies: the Valle Lomellina sagra is a delicious and unmissable stop.
