Festa del Pane (Bread Festival)

Festa del Pane (Bread Festival) is an event full of surprises, for young and old people, on a journey through the history of bread that will tickle your palate and intellect.

Every two years in Savigliano, the food that more than any other represents the spirit of the Italian families is celebrated: bread.

Festa del Pane (Bread Festival) is an opportunity to discover new things and have fun for people of all ages, a curious journey through the history of bread. Throughout the weekend, the old town centre is transformed into a large open-air laboratory to welcome commercial exhibitors, events, workshops, and tastings, all of which are united by the re-discovery of appeasing art. In short, bread for all tastes and for all senses, which you can look at, taste, knead, tell, and listen to.

Festa del Pane (Bread Festival) is not just food; on the contrary, it is also music and entertainment for all ages.

From 3.00 pm in Piazza del Popolo - The Errant Kitchen

Between the clown and the commedia dell’arte, two cooks travel with their wacky vehicle, a hybrid between a kitchen and a ship on wheels, and create a journey in stages in which to feed the imagination. Along the way, the kitchen spreads ethnic music and soap bubbles, while the two interact with the public, offer "appetizers of stories", they declaim poems and tell of travels, of fantastic countries, of migrations of peoples, of food and dreams, in search of a place to stop and "cook" their stories.
