Sagra pizza fritta e arrosticini

In Turrivalignani, in the heart of Pescara province, the Sagra della Pizza Fritta e degli Arrosticini celebrates two pillars of the most authentic Abruzzese gastronomy. During the three days of the event, the main square comes alive with the unmistakable aromas of crispy fried pizza and arrosticini sizzling over hot coals, transporting visitors to the heart of the region's culinary tradition. An opportunity to savor simple and genuine flavors—the kind you eat with your hands and share amid laughter and conviviality.

The fried pizza, with its ideal texture between a crispy exterior and soft interior, is offered in classic varieties with tomato, cheese and ham, but also in sweet versions for those who prefer to end on a sweet note. The arrosticini, meanwhile, maintain their timeless appeal: expertly skewered, slowly cooked over embers and served by the dozen as true Abruzzese tradition demands.

The atmosphere is that characteristic of village festivals, where food becomes an excuse to gather together: musical evenings, games, shows and crowded tables create an experience that goes beyond simple tasting. An event that captures the genuine warmth of Abruzzo, made of sincere flavors, community spirit and that joy that only village celebrations can offer.
