The most eagerly anticipated summer event for food lovers across the Marche region returns: the Sagra delle Pappardelle al Cinghiale in Casine di Ostra. From July 31st to August 5th, this charming town in the province of Ancona transforms into an authentic culinary oasis where Marche gastronomic traditions reign supreme. Pappardelle al cinghiale—the flagship dish of regional cuisine—takes centre stage at this celebration of genuine territorial flavours.

The convivial, festive atmosphere makes it the perfect occasion for unforgettable nights with family or friends, savouring dishes prepared with traditional recipes and zero-kilometre ingredients sourced from local producers.
