Ferragosto in Bosco Chiesanuova: The Gnocchi Sbatui Festival

On August 15, 2026, Bosco Chiesanuova hosts the 22nd edition of the Festa dei Gnocchi Sbatui con la Fioreta, a celebration deeply rooted in the culinary heritage of the Lessinia region. Held at the local ice rink, this event invites guests to rediscover an ancient dish that once fueled the mountain herdsmen during their summer grazing season.

Known as ‘gnocchi di malga’, these dumplings are a testament to mountain minimalism, crafted from flour, water, and salt, and beaten by hand to achieve their signature airy texture. The dish is elevated by the inclusion of ‘fioreta’—fresh ricotta—and finished with mountain butter and smoked ricotta, offering a genuine taste of the terroir. The program includes a full day of live music, ranging from American folk to 1950s rockabilly. Younger guests can enjoy the ‘Battesimo della Sella’ (pony rides) provided by Maneggio al Maso. It is a perfect opportunity to experience a traditional Italian Ferragosto in a scenic, welcoming atmosphere.
