The Sagra delle Pappardelle di Farro al Ragù e dello Stinco di Maiale Arrosto (Spelt Pappardelle and Roasted Pork Knuckle Festival) represents one of the most eagerly awaited gastronomic events of summer in the Marche region. At the Trivio in Ripatransone, in the heart of Ascoli Piceno province, centuries-old peasant culinary traditions are celebrated with dishes that tell stories of authentic territorial heritage. Summer evenings come alive amidst green hills and extraordinary panoramas stretching from the Sibillini Mountains to the Adriatic coast. The spelt pappardelle with ragù sauce is the beating heart of this festival: a first course that embodies the simplicity and genuineness of rural Marchigian cuisine, prepared according to recipes passed down through generations. Alongside this star dish, the completely smoked roasted pork knuckle offers a main course of pure satisfaction, accompanied by many other local specialities ranging from the celebrated Olive Ascolane to grilled dishes. From August 5-10, 2026, the tables at the Trivio fill with colours, flavours, and the conviviality typical of Marchigian festivals. An unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in the authentic gastronomy of the territory, far from culinary trends, where every dish tells a story of tradition and dedication. Beyond the quality of the dishes, the event offers a festive atmosphere with evening entertainment, traditional Marchigian music, and the chance to taste local wines and craft beers. Spaces are arranged convivially, perfect for families, couples, and groups of friends seeking an authentic experience of Marchigian gastronomic culture.
