Varallo · Piemonte, Italy · Jul 10 – 19 🟡 Partially verified

Valsesia's biggest summer event turns Piazza San Carlo into a ten-day open-air restaurant, 'Piazza del Gusto,' with local chefs rotating through a different menu each night built around real regional ingredients — Toma Valsesiana, Macagn, and Blu di Campertogno cheeses, Fassona piemontese beef, riso della Baraggia, and Alpine trout — curated in partnership with Slow Food Valsesia, alongside free concerts and craft exhibitions across a genuinely town-wide affair.
