On the second Sunday of March, every year from 1573, in Monastero Bormida (in the Province of Asti) the \"Polentone Festival\" takes place.

|
The legend tells that the Marquess of Carretto, a local aristocrat, gave some polenta to a group of tinsmiths, who were starving. These, as a mark of gratitude, gave to the city the big tin cauldron, that is still used today to cook polenta. |
