Sagra delle Fettuccine ai Funghi Porcini a Casaprota (Porcini Mushroom Fettuccine Festival)

The Sagra delle Fettuccine ai Funghi Porcini in Casaprota is one of the most eagerly awaited gastronomic events of summer in Lazio. From August 12–15, this charming town in the province of Rieti celebrates this traditional local dish with a festival that blends culinary excellence with entertainment for the whole family. The fettuccine, prepared according to time-honoured recipes, are dressed with fragrant porcini mushrooms foraged from the woodlands of the Monti Sabini and finished with Sabina DOP extra virgin olive oil, guaranteeing an authentic and genuine experience. Beyond culinary delights, the festival offers a rich calendar of events and activities for all tastes. From sporting competitions such as tennis tournaments, table football, scopa and briscola card games, to dancing evenings with the Orchestra Sole d'Italia, plus activities for children, the event transforms Casaprota into a great stage of festivity and conviviality. Moments of spiritual reflection are not forgotten, such as the Aurora Rosary at the Sanctuary of Santa Maria delle Grazie on Ferragosto. This is the perfect opportunity to discover the authentic flavours of Sabina, tasting not only the star of the show—porcini fettuccine—but also other local specialities such as amatriciana and truffle gnocchetti. An event that showcases the best of Lazio's culinary tradition in an atmosphere of shared celebration.
