Sagra delle Sagne Scandrigliesi (Festival of Scandriglia Ribbon Pasta)

The Sagra delle Sagne Scandrigliesi returns for its 41st edition in the heart of Sabina at Scandriglia, confirming itself as an unmissable appointment for lovers of Lazio's culinary traditions. Founded in 1986, this festival represents an authentic celebration of local culture, where food becomes a vehicle for memory and territorial identity. On Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd August, the historic centre will transform into a stage of genuine flavours and conviviality. The celebrated Sagne scandrigliesi—ribbon pasta prepared strictly by hand according to traditional recipe—are the beating heart of the festival. Accompanied by bruschetta with local extra virgin olive oil and a good glass of wine, they represent a gastronomic experience that tells the story and soul of this small Sabine community. The simplicity of ingredients conceals a complexity of flavours that only time-honoured tradition can deliver. Beyond culinary delights, the sagra offers a rich programme of entertainment featuring artisan markets, dancing musical evenings, and the unmistakable presence of stornellatori—performers who will enliven the two days with Roman folklore. Set within the evocative landscape of the Monti Lucretili Park and easily accessible from Rome and Rieti, this festival is the perfect opportunity to discover the authentic beauty of Sabina.
