Among the gentle hills of Sabina, Poggio Moiano comes alive every spring to celebrate one of the season's most authentic natural treasures: wild asparagus. This ingredient, with its pleasantly bitter nuances and intense flavor, represents the deep connection between the territory and its rural tradition—a legacy passed down through generations of foragers who know every corner of the surrounding fields and woods. The festival transforms the village into a stage where simplicity and authenticity become undisputed stars.

At the gastronomic stands set up for the occasion, wild asparagus is transformed into dishes of memory: paired with fresh pasta rolled by hand, enhanced by eggs, and celebrated in the most authentic preparations of Sabina's rustic cuisine. Each dish tells a story of the season—when nature offers its best and local tradition knows exactly how to make the most of it. Here you discover the true meaning of short-supply chains and the inseparable bond between product and territory.

The Sagra dell'Asparago Selvatico in Poggio Moiano is much more than a gastronomic event: it's an opportunity to savor the identity of a community, to rediscover the pleasure of gathering around a table together, and to experience the Sabina spring in its purest and most authentic moment, surrounded by music, conviviality, and the genuine hospitality that characterizes Italy's small villages.
