Sagra · November 8, 2026 · Cartiera di Vas, Setteville (BL)
The Festa di San Leonardo celebrates local food, culture, and the beautiful territory around the Cartiera di Vas. This event features a communal lunch with delicious regional specialties, engaging workshops for both children and adults, and a traditional 'castagnata' (roasted chestnut party) with 'vin novo' (new wine). It's also a unique opportunity to witness the ceremony for the return of a rare watermarked paper sheet from 1672.
Indulge in a delightful communal lunch featuring authentic local cuisine. The menu offers hearty main courses like pork shoulder slow-cooked in dark beer with apples, alongside roasted potatoes and stewed cabbage. Vegetarian options include a flavorful pumpkin and black cabbage lasagna with smoked scamorza cheese, and a veggie burger. For starters, try the polenta crostone with radicchio cream, luganega sausage, and gorgonzola crumbles. Kids can enjoy classic Bolognese lasagna and fries, with all meals concluding with a sweet treat and coffee.
