Overview
The sea is only 17 kilometres away from Pigna, but here the atmosphere is decidedly mountainous! The village is located very close to France and Piedmont, at the foot of the Regional Natural Park of the Ligurian Alps, where the highest peaks reach 2,000 metres and the waters are particularly pure and beneficial, so much so that near the village are its thermal baths, the most famous in Liguria. A village of great beauty and with a panorama that leaves one breathless, also its cuisine will enchant visitors with its flavours linked to the ancient traditions of olive cultivation and sheep-farming: the Toma di Pecora Brigasca cheese and the white Pigna bean, Slow Food presidia, are definitely worth tasting, but typical dishes are also goat and beans and gran pistau ('pounded wheat'), and among the cheeses, bruss. This close link with the cuisine can also be seen in the events that mark the village calendar, such as the Mushroom Festival and the Raviolata di San Tiberio.
