About Torrone Festival of Piana Crixia
Nougat, the sweet of the Immaculate Conception
In Piana Crixia, a municipality in the Province of Savona in the Bormida Valley, December 8th is the day of nougat. The Torrone Festival, linked to the feast of the Immaculate Conception, celebrates a typical product of this territory: artisanal nougat, the festive sweet par excellence.
Stalls, mulled wine, and nativity scene
For the festival, the town center fills with stalls where you can buy artisanal nougat, accompanied by hot mulled wine and traditional sweets. The festival is also linked to the farmer's nativity scene, an expression of the valley's rural culture, which adds a touch of Christmas atmosphere to the day.
The start of Christmas in the Bormida Valley
The Torrone Festival marks the beginning of the Christmas season in the Savona hinterland. Piana Crixia, famous for its Regional Natural Park with its characteristic badlands and the "stone mushroom", offers the ideal setting for a day of celebration between sweetness and tradition. For those visiting Liguria in winter, it is an opportunity to discover an authentic village and its festive flavors.
