Ascrea is preparing to celebrate one of its most enchanting events: the Sagra delle Fettuccine ai Funghi Porcini, an unmissable opportunity to experience authentic Sabine cuisine. Born in 1986 from a simple 'community meal in the town square', this festival has evolved over the years into one of the region's most anticipated gastronomic events, attracting visitors from across Italy. The credit goes to the excellence of local ingredients, particularly the prized porcini mushrooms that thrive in the surrounding forests of the Turano Valley. During the festival, visitors can taste fettuccine prepared according to traditional Sabine recipes, served for both lunch and dinner on the natural panoramic terrace overlooking the Turano Valley. The culinary experience is made even more complete by pairings with Alta Quota Beer and Fonte Cottorella Spring Water, both zero-kilometer local products that enhance the aroma and flavor of the porcini mushrooms. Generous portions and artisanal quality make each tasting an unforgettable moment. For those wishing to deepen their knowledge of the territory, a guided excursion to the ruins of Mirandella has been organized—a fascinating journey to the origins of this Sabine village. With official guides from the Monti Navegna and Cervia Nature Reserve, you can discover the medieval history and natural beauty of this area of central Italy, completing the experience with a local food and wine lesson. **Practical Information**: The event takes place on August 3, 2026 in Ascrea (RI). Reservations are recommended to guarantee your spot. For information, exact times, prices, and bookings, please contact the Ascrea municipal organization directly through their official channels.
