Sagra della lumaca

The Sagra della Lumaca in Sorbolongo represents one of the most fascinating gastronomic traditions of the Lazio region, organized with dedication by the Valmontone celebrations committee. This event is rooted in a thousand-year history dating back to the 12th century, when between June 23rd and 24th the local community celebrated the feast of Saint John the Baptist during the enchanting Night of Saint John, transforming religious celebrations into occasions of conviviality and culinary sharing.

Each edition of the festival represents the perfect blend of tradition and gastronomy, where the snail, a humble creature of the earth, becomes the undisputed protagonist on local tables. The organizing committee continues to transmit with expertise and passion the culinary and cultural heritage linked to this terrestrial mollusk, keeping alive a gastronomic practice that characterizes the historical and cultural identity of Sorbolongo. An unmissable opportunity to discover authentic flavors and immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere of a community proud of its roots.
