Sagra del prosciutto

Nestled in the hills of the Vallesina, the Sagra del Prosciutto of Bassiano celebrates one of the most emblematic dishes of the Marche culinary tradition: polenta with ham and aromatic herbs. An event that goes beyond simple tasting to become a complete sensory experience, where the authentic flavors of the region meet the warm hospitality of the local community.

The true magic of the festival lies in how the polenta is prepared: in large copper pots, just as tradition dictates, and seasoned with a fragrant mixture of fresh herbs in which the ham dissolves slowly, creating a symphony of flavors that tell the story of the territory. This centuries-old pairing represents the essence of authentic Marche cuisine.

The gastronomic offering is completed with a rich selection of local protected designation cured meats, genuine cheeses from the dairies of the Vallesina, artisanal sweets, and red wines from the region that enhance every dish. Each plate is designed to showcase the gastronomic and wine excellences of the region.

But the Sagra del Prosciutto is more than just food: it's an opportunity to rediscover the profound meaning of collective memory and Marche roots. During the weekend, traditional musical performances, folk dances, and educational workshops create a festive atmosphere. Dedicated children's areas with entertainment guarantee fun for the whole family. An unforgettable experience where food, community, and tradition come together.
