A festival at Parco Matilde for scarpazzone — a rice-enriched variant of erbazzone (savory chard, spinach, ricotta, and Parmigiano Reggiano pie) unique to a small pocket of the Reggio Emilia Apennines around Carpineti. The rice traces back to the region's 'mondine,' women who traveled seasonally to work the rice paddies near Vercelli and brought rice home as part of their pay. Also served: chizza del brigante (fried dough stuffed with erbazzone filling), casagai, and grilled meat, alongside a historical reenactment tied to the region's Byzantine and Matildic history.
