In the heart of Italy, small towns like Maranzana, Incisa, Montegrosso, Santa Caterina di Rocca d'Arazzo, Monastero Bormida, and Rocchetta Tanaro are gearing up for a series of events that promise a unique blend of local culture, food, and music.
Currently, the exhibition "Rare Earths" by Gianni Venturini and "Journey into Color" with the works of Giò D’Amico are captivating visitors in the castle's halls of Rocchetta Tanaro. Meanwhile, in Maranzana, the life-size statues known as "Babaci" depicting people, habits, and activities are a must-see.
This weekend, feasts and patronal festivals are happening in Maranzana, and the "Madonna d'Agosto" festival is set to take place tonight in Rocchetta Tanaro, featuring the music of Controcorrente.
For those seeking a musical evening, Sal Belvedere will perform music at the Train among the vines (free entrance) in Rocchetta Tanaro. On a specific date, I Roeri will perform in Castelnuovo Don Bosco, Piazza Dante, with a grill prepared by the Pro loco cooks and a dancing evening (entrance 5 euros).
In Moransengo, a traditional Ferragosto spaghetti party and dancing with DJ Fabry are planned, while a fish-based dinner with music by the Liscio Simpatia orchestra is scheduled for tomorrow.
The "Incisian Ferragosto" will host a turkey livestock and agricultural machinery fair, and Timeless will perform music during the event.
In the coming days, events such as a 90's Party, a seafood dinner with Groove Jet, a solidarity walk "On the way to San Rocco" organised by the Lions presepisti, and a challenge of bowls are also expected.
Small town Maranzana, known for its outdoor getaways, is another destination worth visiting.
