The Sagra del pancotto e vino enlivens Piazza Umberto Giordano in Foggia, celebrating the rustic roots and authentic flavours of Puglia's peasant heritage. At the heart of the festival is pancotto, an iconic dish of Tavoliere's 'cucina povera' (peasant cuisine), born from the tradition of repurposing stale bread into a wholesome, zero-waste meal. The local Foggia recipe is traditionally made with stale bread, potatoes, seasonal wild greens, and premium extra virgin olive oil, varying according to garden harvests and family customs. Accompanying the tastings is local wine, another cornerstone of Capitanata's culinary identity, offering a weekend of genuine conviviality and heartfelt tradition.
