2025 Edition

The 44th edition of the Traditional Tortellino Festival was held in Castelfranco Emilia (Modena) from September 4 to 15, 2025. For over ten days, the historic center hosted food stands in Piazza della Vittoria, offering handmade tortellino served in capon broth, along with numerous typical Emilian products.

Among the highlights were the opening Pink Night of Tortellino, evenings dedicated to the "Piacere Modena" recipe prepared by local chefs, free concerts and shows, and the grand Sunday Historical Pageant with approximately 250-300 costumed figures who re-enacted the legend of the innkeeper and the lady, electing the guardians of tradition for the following year.
