The residents of Valloria are very upright and hospitable. This is reflected time and again on the first weekend in July and August. On those days the legendary summer feasts take place in the village. The feasts are under the Motto “A Volloria fai baldoria” this means figuratively, that there is a lot of celebration there.

The two functions are, among other things, also organized along gastronomical lines. Ligurian delicacies abound in plenty. There is always something for every taste. Subsequently people dance together with great joy and make friends. This is something people are always eager to return to!
