Sagra dello Stocco

Stockfish takes centre stage in Camporosso

The Sagra dello Stocco is the festival dedicated to stockfish held in Camporosso, a municipality in the Val Nervia in the province of Imperia. Stockfish, a dried cod, is a key ingredient in many Southern Italian cuisines, and particularly in the Calabrian tradition, to which this evening is dedicated.

An evening with a Calabrian flavour

At the Palatenda and Arena Bigauda, the Pro Loco 'Gli amici del mulino' offers stockfish prepared according to Calabrian recipes, along with other Southern specialities. The evening, enlivened by music, recreates the atmosphere of Southern festivals, bringing the flavours of Calabria to the Riviera dei Fiori on a warm late summer evening.

An established tradition

Now in its tenth edition, the Sagra dello Stocco is a regular fixture of the Camporosso summer. The event's success testifies to the link between the local community and the gastronomic traditions of the South, in an area, the western Ligurian Riviera, that has always been a crossroads of cultures and flavours.

Camporosso, festival and hospitality

A lively centre in the Val Nervia, just a few kilometres from the sea, Camporosso enlivens the summer with a rich calendar of festivals. The Sagra dello Stocco is among the most beloved, capable of uniting gastronomy, music, and conviviality in an evening that celebrates the flavours of the South in the heart of the Riviera dei Fiori.
