A festival in Piazza Plebiscito for Lavello's own sweet ricotta ravioli, a recipe passed down orally that local legend traces to two doctors from Baghdad who introduced it to Basilicata in the 1200s. Founded by the Associazione Labellum, alongside the Pro Loco 'F. Ricciuti,' Associazione San Mauro, and the folk group 'I F'st'nidd,' in a town also known for its focaccia, scaldatelli, and its own historic wine estates.
