"A world of spices"
Baccanale is back again: a festival dedicated to food culture, which for 40 years has been one of the most highly anticipated fall events both in the city of Imola and its surrounding area.
The theme chosen for the 2025 edition is “A world of spices”, an expression that refers to many aspects of local cuisine and culture.
The use of spices in cooking is an art that continues to transform dishes, making them unique and surprising. Whether they are the main ingredient in a recipe or used as a finishing touch, their use enhances every preparation, from marinades to drinks to the most refined sauces. Today, as in the past, they continue to play a leading role in cuisines around the world, where the skilful use of spices and aromatic herbs has the power to transform simple ingredients into extraordinary dishes, rich in aromas and flavours that speak the universal language of taste.
Every year, Baccanale presents different and unusual shades of taste, gastronomy and food pleasures.
The themed menus, designed by the many restaurants in the area, are accompanied by entertainment, live shows and events in the streets and squares, transforming Imola and nearby areas into an outdoor stage with food as the star.
