About Sagra del Torrone di Piana Crixia
Nougat, the sweet of the Immaculate Conception
In Piana Crixia, a municipality in the Province of Savona in the Val Bormida, December 8th is nougat day. The Sagra del Torrone, linked to the feast of the Immaculate Conception, celebrates a typical product of this area: artisanal nougat, the quintessential festive sweet.
Stalls, mulled wine, and nativity scenes
For the festival, the town centre is filled with stalls where you can buy artisanal nougat, accompanied by hot mulled wine and traditional sweets. The festival is also linked to the farmer's nativity scene, an expression of the valley's rural culture, which adds a touch of Christmas atmosphere to the day.
The start of Christmas in Val Bormida
