The Sagra delle pennette all'Ogliarese is an unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in Campanian culinary traditions, where the simplicity of ingredients transforms into an unforgettable gastronomic experience. Born in the 1980s as the Sagra del Fusillo al tegamino, the event underwent an evolution in 2006 that made it even more captivating: penne pasta dressed with zucchini blossoms, locally called "sciurilli," represent the beating heart of this celebration, prepared according to a local recipe that is rarely replicated and available only during summer months with zero-kilometer fresh produce.

What makes this festival truly special is its attention to sustainable details and traditions: each dish is served in an authentic reusable terracotta pan, a conscious gesture that contrasts with modern disposable culture. The pan thus becomes a tangible memento of the evening, to take home and use again.

Beyond the celebrated pennette all'Ogliarese, guests can savor eggplants, local cheeses, sausages, wine, homemade limoncello prepared for the occasion, and irresistible zeppole according to a secret recipe. The evenings are accompanied by a musical selection that varies daily to satisfy all tastes: five days celebrating gastronomy, conviviality, and authenticity.
