Feast of Bocconotto

Bocconotto is the traditional Mormanno sweet. To say bocconotto is to say Mormanno. Its origins date back to a peasant past where the ingredients of the earth were used to create true masterpieces in the kitchen, capable of providing much needed energy for work in the fields. The Bocconotto is so characteristic of Mormanno that for a few years now the municipal administration has dedicated an entire day to Re Bocconotto, which weighs about 2 quintals and is distributed to tourists in the square. Since 2018, the Bocconotto has been twinned with the Diamante Chilli Pepper and the Bocconotto Festival in Mormanno takes place in September immediately after the Diamante Chilli Pepper Festival.
