Traditional fish and fried dishes at the Fratellanza Quilianese
About Sagra Muscoli e Totani
The fish festival in Quiliano
In Quiliano, a town in the hinterland of the province of Savona, the Sagra Muscoli e Totani is organised by the historic A.P.S. SMS Fratellanza Quilianese, a mutual aid society founded in 1885. The festival is one of the most anticipated gastronomic events of early summer, dedicated to the traditional flavours of Ligurian seafood.
Traditional dishes
The menu features fried squid, prawns and grilled swordfish, while Saturday features the typical buridda di stoccafisso (fish stew), a dish from traditional Ligurian peasant cuisine. The 'muscoli' (mussels, as they are called in Liguria) complete a simple and genuine offering, prepared with care by the society's volunteers.
A historic society
The Fratellanza Quilianese is one of the most deeply rooted associative realities in the area, and the festival represents one of its most important gathering moments. The covered space ensures the event can take place even in bad weather, making it a reliable fixture in the Savona festival calendar.
