Events in Monferrato — November 2025

Every November Montiglio's frazioni take turns to serve bagna càuda, the hot garlic-and-anchovy dip of Piedmont's cold months: the Società Agricola Operaia at Sant'Anna, Banengo, and the Pro Loco of Colcavagno, which runs a series of 'Bagna Cauda Days' over two weekends.

A one-day November truffle fair in Mombaruzzo, billed since 2025 as the Fiera del Tartufo Bianco dell'Alto Monferrato. There's a white-truffle show and judging, a food-and-craft market through the borgo, a truffle walk and a truffle hunt.

The city of Alessandria's prose season with Piemonte dal Vivo: six subscription evenings of classic and new theatre and dance at the Teatro Alessandrino from November to March, plus a cheaper 'Off' strand of small-company shows at the Teatro San Francesco and Teatro Ambra.

Vignale calls itself the capital of bagna cauda, and for a November weekend the Pro Loco proves it — communal tables of the De.Co.-certified dish, the garlic-and-anchovy pot bubbling at the oratorio on Via Roma.

Each year around 21 November the Carabinieri gather at the Santuario della Virgo Fidelis in Incisa Scapaccino for a Mass in honour of their patron, the Virgin 'faithful through the ages'.

Acqui Terme's Christmas season: nearly two months of festive lights, market stalls and shopping across Piazza Italia and the centre, with an ice rink, Father Christmas's house and the Pro Loco's big international nativity exhibition.

Alessandria's Christmas season: the 'Paese di Babbo Natale' with its wooden market huts and shows for children in Piazza della Libertà, the big city tree, smaller Christmas markets around the centre, concerts in the churches, a children's New Year's Eve and the city's own nativity play, Gelindo.
