If you are looking for an event that combines tradition, authentic flavors, and the discovery of a local delicacy from the Pavia region, mark your calendar for the Bertagnina Pumpkin Festival in Dorno (Province of Pavia).

From October 10 to 16, 2026, the town of Dorno (PV), located in the Lomellina area, celebrates its signature pumpkin—a prized variety with a distinctive shape that, in ancient local dialect, resembled the "bartò" (a traditional farmer's hat).

Cultivated in Dorno for generations, this unique squash is renowned for its versatile, naturally sweet flesh and excellent shelf life, lasting up to March or April when properly stored.

The festival spans an entire week with a packed calendar of cultural and culinary events.

Don't miss the chance to discover the queen of Pavia's autumn and experience the authentic atmosphere of one of the region's most characteristic and long-standing festivals! The event is officially sponsored by the Lombardy Region, the Province of Pavia, and the Italian Ministry of Agriculture, among others.
