In the heart of Sabina in Lazio, the small village of Casaprota is preparing to celebrate one of its most beloved culinary stars: bruschetta. The Sagra della Bruschetta, taking place on January 24-25, 2027, is an unmissable opportunity to taste this simple yet extraordinary recipe, prepared with fresh local bread and dressed with excellent local extra virgin olive oil. Visitors can enjoy the classic version and refined variations with tomato and basil, mushrooms and sautéed vegetables. But bruschetta is just the starting point of a fascinating gastronomic journey through the authentic flavors of Sabina. During the festival, you'll be able to taste creamy truffle farro soup, the celebrated fregnacce alla sabinese, and pizzola, a crispy white pizza from neighboring villages. Each dish tells a story of tradition and connection to the land. The event is further enriched by the Typical Products Market Fair, where guided tastings allow you to discover and sample the best local products. A weekend dedicated to those who want to truly experience Lazio cuisine, away from the usual tourist destinations, in an authentic and welcoming atmosphere.
