About Torre Bormida Carnival

The Torre Bormida Carnival is the most festive winter event in this small village in the Alta Langa, in the province of Cuneo. The celebration takes place at the Nuovo Secolo restaurant and pizzeria, which opens its doors for an aperitivo dinner followed by a grand masquerade ball. With music, colorful costumes, and the joy typical of the Piedmontese Carnival, the evening brings together locals and visitors for a convivial party that blends carnival tradition with the warm hospitality of the Langhe.

The Torre Bormida Carnival

In the small town of Torre Bormida, nestled in the woods and hills of the Alta Langa, in the province of Cuneo, the Carnival is one of the most anticipated moments of winter. In a territory defined by intimate villages and a strong sense of community, the masquerade party becomes the perfect occasion to gather, shake off the winter chill, and celebrate one of the most beloved traditions of the Piedmontese popular calendar.

A festive evening at Nuovo Secolo

The heart of the event is the Albergo Ristorante Pizzeria Nuovo Secolo, a historic landmark for the town's social life. Here, thanks to the dedication of the Rizzolo family, an evening comes to life that combines fine food and entertainment. The event begins with a convivial aperitivo dinner and continues with the grand masquerade ball, which transforms the venue into a lively dance floor until late in the evening.

Music and entertainment

The soundtrack of the party is provided by voices and music from the local scene: the entertainment is curated by Fabio Gallina and Jolly Jay from Radio Vallebelbo, the radio station that has been accompanying events in the Langhe and Monferrato regions for years. Between dances, entertainment, and a parade of the most original costumes, the evening maintains the carefree and playful atmosphere that has always characterized the Carnival.

Carnival in the Alta Langa

Although it is an intimate celebration, the Torre Bormida Carnival perfectly represents how small towns in the Langhe experience traditional holidays: with simplicity, human warmth, and a great capacity for community. For those visiting this corner of Piedmont, participating in the party means discovering the authentic hospitality of a village where conviviality is still a shared value. The masks, the aperitivo dinner, and the music blend into an experience that tells the most genuine story of the Cuneo hinterland.

Why attend

  • A masquerade ball in a familiar and welcoming atmosphere
  • An aperitivo dinner featuring the flavors of Piedmontese cuisine
  • Live music and entertainment with local artists
  • The chance to experience Carnival in an authentic Alta Langa village

Reservations are highly recommended, given the limited capacity of the venue.
