On the 5th May 2024, a small group of IWA Modena mebers took part in a local tradition in Corlo near Formigine in the province of Modena. The event named Magnalonga di Corlo is a 10/11 walk featuring food and drink from the region’s producers. This unique experience blends the joy of walking through Corlo/Formigine countryside with the pleasure of sampling tasty Emilian cuisine and drinks along the way. This year was the 17th edition, as it is now an annual tradition.

The event starts early in the morning with groups of about 100 people. From the starting point there is music and interaction with the group that generates a great dynamic atmosphere around the event. You walk with the group from one site to the other, arriving to a new wine and Emilian delicacy to reward your effort. It’s the right balance between a workout and calorie consumption.
Enjoying the Emilian cuisine at the Magnalonga event
At each stop there is a show waiting; it could be from a DJ to live music. No matter the rhythm, they make you dance and keep a high energy level along the whole walk. Before you realise it, you have arrived the end, walked all those kilometres and enjoyed a fun experience with your family and/or friends. It’s an experience not to be missed, and to be repeated; a good tradition to establish in your life.
