Stocco Festival

Stockfish Takes Center Stage in Camporosso

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

An Evening with a Calabrian Flavor

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

An Established Tradition

Now in its tenth edition, the Stocco Festival 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 a region, the western Ligurian Riviera, which has always been a crossroads of cultures and flavors.

Camporosso, Celebration and Hospitality

A lively center in the Nervia Valley, just a few kilometers from the sea, Camporosso enlivens the summer with a rich calendar of festivals. The Stocco Festival is among the most beloved, capable of uniting gastronomy, music, and conviviality in an evening that celebrates the flavors of the South in the heart of the Riviera dei Fiori.
