Sagra degli Strigliozzi (Strigliozzi Pasta Festival)

The Sagra degli Strigliozzi is a historic food and wine festival organized by the Pro Loco of Castel di Tora, a picturesque village in the province of Rieti overlooking the shores of Lake Turano. The event celebrates local culinary traditions and marks the close of summer throughout the village's charming streets. At the heart of the festival are the strigliozzi: traditional durum wheat macaroni kneaded and cut by hand following time-honored local customs. The dish is served piping hot with a rich tomato sauce, accompanied by wood-fired bread, local wine, and traditional pastries from the Sabina region. Along the alleys of Castel di Tora, visitors can browse market stalls showcasing local crafts and regional specialties. To ensure a pleasant experience, the event provides covered dining areas and a convenient shuttle bus service.
