Sagra del Raviolo

The history of the festival

It has been held in Casalfiumanese since 1925, initially in conjunction with the San Giuseppe cattle fair, which dates back to 1738.

The then mayor, Count Alessandretti, ordered ravioli to be distributed to children so that they could take part in the celebrations alongside the adults.

This gave rise to the tradition of throwing these typical jam- or mustard-filled pastries at those present.

It was a festive occasion for the whole village and was celebrated with abundant lunches.

The Festival today

Today, the fair has been abolished and the event takes place on the Sunday closest to 19 March.

On this day, ravioli, the typical local jam-filled pastries, are thrown to the crowd.

The event is accompanied by shows and allegorical floats, under the watchful eye of the so-called 'Conte Raviolone', a character created to entertain and amuse the public while they wait for the ravioli to be distributed.

During the festival, there will also be the RavioloTrail, with a competitive race and a leisurely walk.
