Sagra delle rane e del fagiolo regina

In the heart of the Aniene Valley, the picturesque village of Agosta transforms into a stage where tradition and authentic flavours meet in an unconventional celebration. The Sagra delle Rane e del Fagiolo Regina, enlivening the village on August 8-9, 2026, is a rare opportunity to rediscover the genuine tastes of a territory rich in agricultural history and biodiversity. Two humble yet noble ingredients that have nourished local families for generations take centre stage on visitors' tables: crispy battered fried frogs or slow-cooked preparations, and queen beans—a culinary heritage of the area—in their infinite variations from hearty soups to rustic side dishes. The festival is more than just a gastronomic celebration; it's a true journey through time and the traditions of the village. Among ancient alleyways and authentic atmospheres, the Agosta community welcomes visitors with live music, folk performances and cultural encounters that reveal the deep roots of this land. Every dish tells a story, prepared with the dedication of those who know these flavours well and can transform simple ingredients into unforgettable experiences. For those wishing to explore the territory further, the festival also offers nature trails and exhibitions of local producers, creating an authentic bridge between past and present. It's the perfect opportunity for families, food and wine enthusiasts and those curious about traditions at risk of disappearing—all wrapped in the genuine warmth of a community that still knows how to celebrate its roots.
