In the heart of Cilento, the Sagra del Fusillo Felittese represents one of the most authentic tributes to Campanian gastronomy. From August 13-23, 2026, the small village of Felitto transforms into an open-air workshop where you can admire the art of hand-made pasta—an art that has endured for centuries. The fusillo felittese, with its characteristic twisted shape wrapped around iron rods, is far more than a culinary product: it is the living symbol of a community that has jealously preserved its roots. Visiting this festival means immersing yourself in a multisensory experience where tradition comes to life before your eyes. You can observe the expert hands of artisans as they prepare the pasta with the same patience and dedication passed down through generations. The fusilli are served according to classic recipes, either dressed with hearty ragù or paired with fresh tomato and local goat cheese, creating a perfect balance between past and present. Yet the Sagra del Fusillo Felittese is more than food: it is celebration, sharing, and culture. Alongside traditional Cilento dishes and cured meats and cheeses, the program features live music, folkloristic processions, artisan exhibitions, and evening performances that capture the magical atmosphere of a village celebrating itself. Every element of the event contributes to telling the story of Felitto and its territory.
