Sagra Lagane e Ceci

The Sagra Lagane e Ceci in Rufoli is an unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in Campania's culinary traditions, where the simplicity and authenticity of Salerno's peasant cuisine find their finest expression. Lagane—a charming homemade pasta reminiscent of tagliatelle—meet slowly-cooked chickpeas prepared according to a recipe passed down through generations by local home cooks, creating a dish that tells stories of place and memory. Each portion is served in a traditional earthenware bowl, a symbolic homage to visitors that honors how Rufoli continues the ancient tradition of clay working, keeping alive a craft deeply woven into the identity of this place. A detail that transforms a simple dish into an experience that engages all the senses. Throughout the festival evenings, the atmosphere comes alive with live music, folk songs, and travelling performances that turn Rufoli's historic centre into an open-air stage. Pair your lagane with local wines and the famous zeppole for a complete celebration of Campania's food and wine culture.
