Home of the Museo della Vena del Gesso Romagnola at the historic Baronial Palace of Tossignano.

The excellence of Borgo Tossignano

The Polenta of Tossignano

The History of Polenta in Tossignano has very ancient origins, dating back to February 1622, the last day of carnival, when it was celebrated in Tossignano with great feasts of polenta topped with sausage, offered free to villagers and outsiders.

The Macaroni of Borgo Tossignano

In Borgo, flavorful macaroni topped with tasty meat sauce is born to bind the two dishes and the two countries, once rivals.
