Description of the Festival

The roe deer is an animal that populates the woods of the Apennine arc and the Alps. It is a "jumper" for this it prefers to live in the thick of the forest where its characteristics allow it a quick escape even in the midst of brambles that would hinder a predator or other animals. Like all game, the preparation of its meat requires a good marinade and a slow and long cooking. The festival takes place inside the Centro Anziani di Ròsina and offers, besides the polenta with roe, other typical local products.
