The feast of the Brescian spiedo in the historic courtyards of Breno
In Breno, in Valle Camonica (Province of Brescia), Spiedo nei Cortili is one of the most evocative gastronomic events of the year. The festival brings the Brescian spiedo โ the symbolic dish of the territory's culinary tradition โ into the historic courtyards of the village center, transformed for one evening into a large open-air banquet.
The event concludes the Maggio Brenese, the month of cultural initiatives, shows, and traditions promoted by the Municipality of Breno and the Pro Loco. The dinner in the courtyards is the most anticipated moment of the closing weekend, which also offers other events such as the exhibition of vintage cars and motorcycles "Classica".
The spiedo in the courtyards is a festival by reservation: places are limited and must be booked in advance, a sign of the event's success and unique atmosphere. Dining among the ancient courtyards of Breno, illuminated for the occasion, offers an intimate and authentic experience, far from the crowds of large festivals.
The spiedo is one of the most distinctive preparations of Brescian and Camunian cuisine: meats slowly cooked on the spit, accompanied by polenta. Spiedo nei Cortili celebrates this tradition in the heart of Breno, offering visitors a taste of Valle Camonica's gastronomic culture in a setting of great historical charm.
Spiedo nei Cortili 2026 will take place on Saturday, May 31 in Breno (BS), in the courtyards of the historic center, closing the Maggio Brenese. The Brescian spiedo will be served starting at 7:45 PM, in a convivial atmosphere among the ancient courtyards of the village in Valle Camonica.
The event is by reservation, with limited places: reservations must be made by May 26. The closing weekend of Maggio Brenese also features the exhibition of vintage cars and motorcycles "Classica".
