Borgo Vodice is preparing for an extraordinary three-day celebration dedicated to tradition and collective memory. From June 26-28, 2026, Sabaudia will host the dual event organized by Officine della Memoria: the 7th Edition of the Sagra dei Bigoi al Torcio and the 13th Edition of Historic Plowing and Forgotten Trades. A unique opportunity to rediscover the cultural roots of Agropontino through a complete immersion in Venetian and local traditions. Bigoi al torcio will take center stage: this distinctive pasta, similar to a heartier spaghetti and prepared with a skillful blend of durum and soft wheat flour, will be served alongside other culinary delights such as arrosticini skewers, succulent grilled meats, and goat ragù. A gastronomic journey accompanied by excellent beer, designed to satisfy the most discerning palates and celebrate the excellence of authentic cuisine. Running parallel to the culinary experience, the Historic Plowing and Ancient Crafts exhibition will transport visitors on a fascinating journey through time. Exhibitions dedicated to historic agricultural techniques and traditional crafts will showcase beautifully preserved period machinery, authentic tools, and objects that tell stories from when the land and manual labor defined the rhythm of daily life. Practical demonstrations of historic plowing techniques and forgotten artisanal skills will complete the educational and cultural offerings, allowing visitors to understand and appreciate the wisdom of our ancestors. An immersive, multisensory experience that unites gastronomy, history, and culture—perfect for families, tradition enthusiasts, and seekers of authenticity.
