The polenta and autumn flavors festival in Lavagna di Comazzo
Sapori d'Autunno - La Pulentada is the festival that every November brings the flavors of Lombard tradition to the hamlet of Lavagna di Comazzo, in the province of Lodi. The event takes place at the Oratorio San Bassiano Vescovo, in Piazza San Bassiano, where a large heated tent is set up in the parish courtyard, allowing the festival to be enjoyed even in bad weather.
As the name suggests – "Pulentada" in dialect – polenta is the queen of the table. The menu features the great classics of autumn Lombard cuisine: cassoeula with polenta, braised meat with polenta, pork knuckle with baked potatoes, and polenta with gorgonzola. Hearty and convivial dishes, designed for the cold season.
The festival is organized by the La Pulentada Festival Committee and typically spans several days in November. Over the years, it has become one of the most anticipated gastronomic events in the area, attracting visitors from neighboring municipalities in the Lodi and Milanese regions, thanks to Comazzo's location on the border between the two provinces.
The 2026 edition of Sapori d'Autunno - La Pulentada is scheduled, as usual, over several days in November at the Oratorio San Bassiano Vescovo in Lavagna di Comazzo. In the heated tent, traditional Lombard dishes return with polenta as the star, from cassoeula to braised meat to pork knuckle.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition, with precise dates, will be announced by the La Pulentada festival committee on the website sagralapulentada.webnode.it and on the Facebook page.
