Fiera del Bue Grasso e del Manzo di razza piemontese
Every December Nizza revives its historic cattle market: prize Piedmontese 'fat oxen' and beef cattle shown off in Piazza Garibaldi, a Slow Food market alongside, and the traditional Gran Bollito served in the Foro Boario.
Why it's special
The 'white giants' of the Piedmontese breed line up for judging — this is one of the southern Astigiano's main livestock showcases — and the day's capped by a hearty Gran Bollito di Bue Grasso lunch.
