Pumpkin Festival in Reggiolo an appointment not to be missed between taste, folklore and gourmet combinations<\/em><\/p>\n

Every year in September, the village of Reggiolo<\/strong>, in the province of Reggio Emilia, turns orange to celebrate one of the symbolic fruits of autumn: the pumpkin<\/strong>. La Pumpkin Festival<\/strong> is an event loved by locals and tourists alike, blending rural tradition, authentic flavours and conviviality in the heart of the Po Valley.<\/p>\n

With food stands, markets, shows and workshops for all ages, the pumpkin is undisputed queen: in every dish, decoration and scent.<\/p>\n

An ancient, rich and surprising vegetable<\/h2>\n

La pumpkin<\/strong> is a plant that has its roots in man's agricultural history. Cultivated as early as over 10,000 years ago in Central America, it arrived in Europe in the 16th century, finding in Emilia-Romagna fertile ground<\/strong> to become the protagonist of many popular recipes.<\/p>\n

Rich in vitamins, fibre and antioxidants<\/strong>, pumpkin is a food versatile<\/strong>, perfect for sweet and savoury dishes. In the kitchen, every part of the pumpkin can be exploited: flesh, seeds, skin, flowers.<\/p>\n

Specialities not to be missed at the Festival<\/h2>\n

During the Reggiolo Pumpkin Festival<\/strong>you can taste typical local recipes, prepared with passion by local associations:<\/p>\n
