Handmade trofie al pesto, a symbol of Sori
The Sagra delle Trofie is the most identity-rich gastronomic event in Sori, a seaside town in the Metropolitan City of Genoa. Trofie, a small twisted fresh pasta, are deeply linked to this stretch of the Ligurian coast, and the festival celebrates them in the most authentic way: by making them by hand.
The pedestrian area of the town transforms into a large fresh pasta workshop: from the late afternoon, anyone can try their hand at making trofie with the 'mattera' (the wooden board) and an apron, alongside expert pasta makers. Then the food stalls open, with trofie al pesto prepared with pasta from Pastificio Novella and cheese focaccette.
In the evening, the festival moves towards the sea, with concerts and shows animating the beach of Sori. Organized by the Pro Loco of Sori in collaboration with Pastificio Novella, the festival is recognized among the Authentic Ligurian Events, a brand that promotes events most closely linked to the territory's tradition.
The 39th edition of the Sagra delle Trofie is expected on Saturday, June 27, 2026, in the pedestrian area of Sori. As tradition dictates, the festival begins in the late afternoon with the handmade trofie workshop, open to all, and continues with the opening of the food stalls.
The stars are the trofie al pesto prepared with pasta from Pastificio Novella and cheese focaccette. In the evening, music and shows animate the beach. The event, organized by the Pro Loco of Sori, is recognized as an Authentic Ligurian Event 2026.
The detailed 2026 program will be announced by the Pro Loco of Sori closer to the event. Based on recent editions, the day will include:
Sori (GE), pedestrian area of the center and beach.
Sori has its own train station on the Genoa-La Spezia line. By car, from the A12 motorway (Recco exit) along the coast.
Free admission; paid consumption at the stalls (opening from 7:00 PM). Trofie workshop in the late afternoon.
