Programme

The traditional event "The Citrus Fruits of Cannero Riviera" returns for two weekends in March.

The event is scheduled for March 15-16 and 22-23, and this year’s theme is the diversity of Cannero’s citrus fruits.

For centuries, the municipality of Cannero Riviera has had a long-standing tradition of citrus cultivation.
There are over 250 citrus trees—including various types of sweet and bitter oranges, yellow and pink grapefruits, lemons, citrons, mandarins, and tangerines—scattered across the town's private gardens. Some of these trees are remarkably old, surpassing 50 or even 70 years.

Cannero's gardens open their doors to the public, inviting everyone to enjoy the brightness, colors, and fragrances of Italy’s northernmost citrus fruits through workshops, exhibitions, performances, shows, and guided tours.

Here, you can admire the incredible shapes and colors of citrus fruits that have found an ideal microclimate in this area for their growth.
