Sagra dei maccaruni

Gavignano, a charming village nestled among the Lepini Mountains, prepares to celebrate one of the most authentic dishes of traditional Lazio cuisine. The Sagra dei Maccaruni is an event that goes far beyond simple culinary tasting: it represents a journey through time, an opportunity to discover how the skilled hands of the women of this territory have passed down, through generations, the art of preparing homemade pasta. Every strand of maccaruni tells a story of patience, dedication and love for their land.

For three consecutive days, the historic center of the town comes alive with an atmosphere of collective celebration where the aroma of fresh pasta becomes the guiding thread of the entire event. The maccaruni, prepared exclusively with water and flour according to recipes forgotten by most, are seasoned with a succulent beef stew that brings out the genuine flavors of seasonal vegetables. It is not simply food, but an experience that brings together past and present, simplicity and excellence.

Beyond gastronomic delights, the festival offers a rich program of entertainment: from folk music to evening concerts, from square dances to family shows. Anyone visiting Gavignano during these three days in August will have the rare opportunity to savor the authenticity of a territory and the warm hospitality of the Lazio community.
