The De.Co. raviolo of Vallebona, from the San Lorenzo festival
The Sagra del Raviolo is the symbolic gastronomic festival of Vallebona, a village in the hinterland of Bordighera in the province of Imperia. The protagonist is the raviolo, protected by the De.Co. (Municipal Designation) and rigorously prepared by hand according to a traditional recipe, created for the patron saint's festival of San Lorenzo.
The festival is held on two dates: a first event in July and a second in August, coinciding with the eve of the patron saint's festival of San Lorenzo (August 10th). On both occasions, the village comes alive with food stalls, aromas, and conviviality, with ravioli as the absolute stars.
The festival is recognized among the Authentic Events of Liguria, a brand that promotes events most closely linked to the territory's tradition. An opportunity to savor an iconic dish and discover Vallebona, with its narrow alleys and authentic atmosphere, just a few kilometers from the coast of the Riviera dei Fiori.
