About Flavors and Pizzoccheri Festival
Pizzoccheri in the Lario Mountains
In the Predàa locality, in Zelbio, the Flavors and Pizzoccheri Festival celebrates one of the iconic dishes of Lombardy's mountain cuisine. The pizzoccheri, a prized specialty of Valtellina origin, is offered enriched with local ingredients, accompanied by grilled sausages and French fries. The festival combines the gastronomic aspect with a small market and live music, in a village festival atmosphere.
A Charitable Festival
The event, typically held on a weekend in July (Saturday evening, Sunday at noon and in the evening), has a community focus: the proceeds are used to support the local kindergarten. The festival runs concurrently with the Zelbio Cult cultural event, creating a blend of gastronomic tradition and culture.
