History

The Antica Fiera del Cappone dates back to the beginning of the 20th century and was reinvigorated in the 1950s by members of the local middle class. The Cappone di Morozzo and its Nostrana di Morozzo breed are raised by a family of more than 40 breeders and have been a Slow Food Presidium since 1999.
