Abbiategrasso, located in the heart of the Ticino Park in Lombardy, is an enchanting place that offers residents and visitors a peaceful and high-quality living experience. The Cittaslow philosophy is demonstrated through the care devoted to the preservation of its rich architectural and cultural heritage, as seen in the 14th-century Castello Visconteo and the Church of Santa Maria Nova, an excellent example of Gothic architecture. The city also has a sustainable mobility system, promoting the use of bicycles and the reduction of motorized traffic. Every year, Abbiategrasso demonstrates its commitment to the Cittaslow philosophy with events such as 'Festival dei Sapori' celebrating quality local products and 'Sagra del Carroccio,' a historic medieval re-enactment. In addition, its proximity to the Ticino Park offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy the rich flora and fauna, relax along its banks, or try their hand at hiking or biking.

ABBIATEGUSTO
Autumn, every year
Abbiategusto is the city's well-known kermesse dedicated to the area's food and wine excellence. The very high quality of the products, and the culture of taste remain the objectives of each edition, making this event the most important food and wine event in the whole of eastern Ticino.
The main stage of the event is the Castello Visconteo with its basement, which hosts the stands of the delegations of Cittaslow and the twin towns of Langres and Ellwangen, and the Council Chamber, where the 'taste workshops for children' organised by Coldiretti are set up.
