2020 edition
The Festa della Pitina goes LIVE
Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 July 2020 · A remote format in the time of Covid
Live tastings on social media and tasting kits at home
In the Covid summer the festival did not stop: tasting kits (€20 including delivery) with pitina, cheeses, cured meats and wine, and guided tastings live on Facebook from places around the valley (Chievolis, Quas, Taviela, Sottrivea). On the Saturday, the conference “Open 2020: promoting mountain products as a tourism resource” from the council chamber; on the Sunday, mountain cheeses, the pitina compared with violino from the Val Chiavenna and smoked tench, Friulian Presidia and live links from Romania, Ukraine, Kyoto and Kabul.
