In the heart of Sannio, nestled among Campania's rolling hills, the magic of 'Il Sannio tra Sapori e Folklore' comes alive—an event celebrating the cultural and gastronomic identity of a land steeped in millennia-old traditions. The gathering in Foglianise on July 10-11, 2026 is an unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in the authentic roots of this territory, following the Paths of the Grain Road, that historic route which connected peoples and commerce across the centuries. In Piazza Fiamme Gialle, from 6:00 PM to 11:30 PM, an enchanting sensory journey unfolds where genuine Sannio flavors take center stage.

Live music animates both evenings with performances by local artists performing traditional Campania and folk repertoires, while folkloric entertainments create a convivial, festive atmosphere, transforming the square into a stage of community and sharing.
