Sagra Lagane e ceci

The Sagra delle Lagane e Ceci of Sant'Angelo Rufoli is a fascinating immersion into the Salerno culinary tradition, where time seems to stand still to celebrate one of the most authentic dishes of Campanian peasant cuisine. Every year, this event brings together families and visitors around convivial tables to taste lagane, a homemade pasta similar to tagliatelle, slowly cooked over fire according to recipes passed down through generations of women who jealously guard the secrets of their preparation. The dish is served in the traditional terracotta bowl, a gesture that pays homage to the ancient clay craftsmanship still alive in the region.

Alongside lagane and chickpeas, the festival offers a 360-degree gastronomic experience with a wide selection of local specialties: from the celebrated 'meveza 'mbuttunata to grilled meats, from cured meats and preserved vegetables to pizzelle di sciurilli, to the irresistible zeppole that represent the perfect sweet finale. Each course is accompanied by an excellent local red wine that enhances the authentic flavors of the Salerno land.

From July 18-23, 2026, Sant'Angelo Rufoli transforms into a celebration arena where tradition and entertainment meet, creating a convivial atmosphere that celebrates not only food, but the entire cultural and artisanal heritage of the community. An unmissable opportunity for those who want to discover the deepest roots of Campanian gastronomy.
