The Sagra della struncatura is an event celebrating one of the most distinctive pasta shapes of Calabrian tradition along the Gioia Tauro seafront. Struncatura resembles a thick, dark linguine or bavetta, historically tied to trade with merchants from the Amalfi Coast. It originally began as an exceptionally humble poor dish, prepared by farmhands by repurposing leftover flours, bran, and residues from wheat milling. During the festival, visitors can savor the modern version of this specialty, traditionally dressed with a savory saut茅 of garlic, tomatoes, chili pepper, and anchovies, topped with a dusting of grated cheese. Alongside the star dish, the menu showcases other authentic Calabrian recipes. A vibrant backdrop of live music performances completes the culinary journey, entertaining guests throughout the evening.
