Sagra della Rola

The Sagra della Rola in Rocca Canterano is an unmissable opportunity to celebrate autumn and its most precious treasures. On November 8-9, 2026, this charming Lazio village transforms into a showcase of mountain traditions, where chestnuts take center stage and are transformed into delicious roasted chestnuts (caldarroste) prepared before visitors' eyes in characteristic large pans. An authentic sensory experience that takes you back in time, to the slow rhythm of rural life and the wisdom of recipes passed down through generations. Beyond the roasted chestnuts, the festival offers a rich menu of local specialties: fragrant homemade sweets, local wines, and other delicacies that tell the gastronomic story of Rocca Canterano. The village streets fill with colors and sounds thanks to artisanal markets, where local craftspeople showcase their creations, while folk music accompanies every moment of the celebration, creating a festive and inclusive atmosphere. This event is far more than a simple food festival: it's a celebration of the unbreakable bond between the community and the mountain territory that surrounds it, a moment of conviviality where folklore, entertainment, and tradition come together to immerse visitors of all ages in the magic of Lazio's autumn.
