Sounds and flavors of the ancient village – August
The event, also known as “Viva la Gente – Popular Festival in San Procopio”, is repeated every year in Bovino on the day of August 25 and is organized by the Pro-Loco in collaboration with the Pro – Valleverde Committee. It is also in honor of Maria S.S. of Valleverde patron saint of Bovino and star of Daunia.
The festival is the triumph of the olive oil from which the surrounding lands abound. Typical local rustic dishes such as the “CRUSKELE” (grilled toasted bread seasoned with oil and tomato) and the “PIZZ FRITT”, are offered at the stands. Folkloristic groups parade through the streets of the ancient district of San Procopio, singing and dancing.
