Thursday 26 September – 9pm
"From history to table".
Specific appointment to discover what historical documents tell about the foods present on the tables of the Savigliano people, with a focus on the recipe books of the Santa Rosa family and a curious insight into the ancient regulations that already in past centuries defined the ingredients necessary for having quality bread . Participants will also be able to see how some writings of the 15th century historian Casimiro Turletti from Savigliano referred to a "long, narrow crunchy bread"; perhaps a possible ancestor of the breadstick?
To close, a little surprise that draws inspiration from one of the Santa Rosa family's recipe books.
Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th October – 11am and 3.30pm
"Discover Savigliano".
Guided tours of the symbolic places of Savigliano for tourists who will flock to the Bread Festival: from Piazza Santarosa, to Palazzo Cravetta, up to the many churches in the city. Furthermore, there will be no shortage of stories, anecdotes and curiosities about the traditions that link the territory to food and wine habits and, in particular, to the world of bread-making and cereal cultivation.
All guided tours are free with reservations via email to iat.savigliano@coopculture.it.
