In Marigliano for the gnocchi festival in Pignatiello many tastings, beers, wine, music and dancing.
13 Saturday and Sunday, May 14 2017 It will take place the eighth edition of the Gnocco Festival in Pignatiello, at the Anselmi Institute in Marigliano. The event was born from the idea and work of the volunteers who support the work of the Missionaries of the Divine Redemption of Father Arturo D'Onofrio to whom, like every year, the proceeds of the two days of celebration will go. In previous years with the proceeds obtained it was possible create a study center for children and teenagers, at the reception house in Neiva, Colombia.
The participants in the festival will certainly be numerous because it is not easy to renounce the gnocchi in the pignatiello prepared by hand, or to all other delicacies present such as i sandwiches with pork, the sausage with the side dishes, the caciocavallo hanged, or the delicious tripe, all accompanied by excellent beers, local wine and drinks that appeals to both adults and children. A festival to be complete also needs something else and for the fun of those present there will be music, songs and dances.
This year the Municipality, to meet the needs of the participants, has granted the possibility to park at the "Via Vittorio Veneto" stop, of the Circumvesuviana. From here they can take the shuttle which will take them to the Anselmi Institute and vice versa or, if they prefer, they can take a walk on foot using only 5 minutes. For more information, let's see what the program offers us.
