Sagra della carne maremmana

The Sagra della carne maremmana in Monte Romano is an unmissable event for lovers of authentic Lazio cuisine and rural tradition. This charming village in the province of Viterbo, nestled in the heart of Tuscia in Lazio between Tarquinia and Vetralla, comes alive every August to celebrate one of its most prestigious products: the meat of the prized Maremma beef cattle breed. For three consecutive days, the village transforms into a genuine celebration where the agro-pastoral economy, the historical foundation of the local community, becomes the absolute protagonist through authentic dishes and traditions passed down through generations.

The culinary offerings are varied and refined: from charcoal-grilled steaks, perfectly cooked over fire, to hunter-style stew, from tripe in sauce to the famous coda alla vaccinara, along with the more sought-after nervetti and tongue. Every dish tells the story of a territory and its people, accompanied by side dishes that further enhance the genuine flavors of Maremma cuisine. A complete tasting experience that allows you to discover all the most appreciated variations of this prized meat, served with selected local wines that enhance its organoleptic characteristics.

But the Sagra della carne maremmana is far more than just a food and wine festival: local producers' stalls display the region's excellences, from Roman pecorino cheese to typical cheeses, local wines to traditional preserves. Live musical performances, folk groups, and various entertainment animate the three days, creating a convivial and festive atmosphere that takes visitors back to the roots of Lazio's rural culture. A perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the authentic traditions of the territory and savor the genuine hospitality of its inhabitants.
