?A dish that does good! Minestra de dumèga is a typical dish from the peasant tradition, poor but rich in nutritional properties to the extent that it is a “complete meal”. For more than twenty years, during the Lenten period, a group of women and men skilled in the kitchen have been making themselves available to prepare barley soup that locals and non-residents, by reservation, take home or consume directly in the oratory. The initiative stems from the idea of sharing a poor dinner during the 3 Fridays before Easter and raising funds for the parish and missions with the active involvement of the population.
?Friday 6, 13 and 20 March 2026
Soup will be distributed starting at 6 p.m., but there is also the possibility of staying for dinner at the Bianzone oratory starting at 7 p.m.
?The cost of the take-away portion is 5 euro, and for dinner in the oratory 13 euro.
?For those unable to collect directly, home delivery will be made.
