Festa dell'Acciuga

The Festa dell'Acciuga — the Anchovy Festival — brings Cocconato together over food, celebrating the salted-anchovy tradition of the Monferrato hills.

Why it's special

It honours the old acciughe (anchovy) trade of the Asti hill towns, once carried around by the 'acciugai' peddlers.
