Sagra del Tartufo di San Martino (San Martino Truffle Festival)

The Sagra del Tartufo di San Martino returns to Petrella Salto on November 11, 2024, to celebrate one of the most precious gastronomic treasures of the Rieti area. This traditional festival, held on the feast of Saint Martin, offers the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the authentic flavors of Sabina, where prized black truffles reign supreme at carefully arranged food stalls. The magical and enchanting atmosphere of the medieval village of Petrella Salto will set the stage for an evening celebrating culinary excellence. Visitors can taste traditional Rieti dishes that highlight truffles: fresh pasta with truffle prepared according to time-honored recipes, mushroom and truffle risotto, and truffle-infused meats from top local producers such as the historic Trattoria del Borgo and the festival's partner farms. The program perfectly combines gastronomy with entertainment, featuring live music from the Stardust band accompanying the tastings. Organizers have also thought of visitor convenience: free shuttle service from the main parking area (via Roma), dedicated parking in nearby zones, and accessible facilities for people with reduced mobility. An unmissable event for food lovers, where tradition, taste, and conviviality meet in an evening celebrating the culinary excellence of the Reatino region.
