White Dinner of Canneto Sopra
The convivial all-white dinner in the hamlet of Canneto Sopra in Gazzola
About White Dinner
An all-white dinner in the Piacenza hills
The White Dinner of Canneto Sopra is one of the most evocative summer initiatives in the Municipality of Gazzola, a small town nestled in the first hills of the Val Luretta, in the Province of Piacenza, in Emilia-Romagna. The event takes place in the hamlet of Canneto Sopra and follows the now widespread tradition of "white dinners": a summer evening where participants dress entirely in white and gather around long tables set up outdoors, to share a convivial moment of elegance and simplicity.
An event born from the community
The event is promoted by the Pro Loco of Gazzola and is part of the rich calendar of events that the municipal administration builds each year together with associations, committees, and local organisations. In 2026, the White Dinner will reach its second edition, confirming the good success of its 2025 debut and the community's desire to come together for occasions that enhance the hamlets and small villages of the Municipality.
The spirit of the white dinner
The charm of this formula lies in its simplicity: no ostentation, but a shared candid dress code for everyone, tables laid with white tablecloths, candles, and a few personal touches of elegance. The result is a bright and evocative setting, which transforms a part of the village into a grand outdoor banquet for one night. Good company, musical atmosphere, and the typical conviviality of Emilia's village festivals intertwine around the theme of the table.
