Sagra del Fagiolo di Sutri

In the enchanting setting of the Tuscia region near Viterbo, Sutri prepares to celebrate one of its most authentic gastronomic treasures: the local bean. The Sagra del Fagiolo di Sutri, scheduled for August 29-31, 2026, is an extraordinary opportunity to discover how a simple ingredient can become the star of genuine and mindful cuisine. Local beans, characterized by their thin skin and natural digestibility, are prepared according to traditional recipes: from rustic soups enriched with pork rind, to the classic all'uccelletto style, to the perfect side dish for grilled or braised meats. Each dish tells the story of the territory and the unbreakable bond between the people of Sutri and their land's bounty. But the festival is more than just food and wine—it's a comprehensive cultural experience that transforms Sutri's historic center into a living stage. Among Etruscan necropolises and ancient amphitheaters, between rock churches and the archaeological park, artisan product stalls, craft markets, and evocative folk performances wind through the streets. The atmosphere is authentically rooted in rural traditions, where food becomes community sharing and locals welcome visitors with genuine warmth. Accompanied by a glass of local wine, these three days offer an immersive journey into a dimension where taste, culture, and history are inseparably intertwined.
