Panes e Funtanas 2026 – 10th Edition (Breads and Fountains)

Panes e Funtanas is an immersive experience in the heart of central Sardinia, where the small mountain village of Scano Montiferro transforms into a living museum of local traditions. Over the course of a single festive day, visitors are invited to follow a fascinating journey among the ancient fountains of the village, discovering how water and bread have shaped the culture and survival of rural communities throughout the centuries. Every fountain tells a story; every corner of the village reveals culinary secrets and ancestral knowledge passed down through generations. The undisputed star of the event is bread in all its traditional forms: from guttiau to carasau, from coccoi to other traditional varieties. Breadmaking demonstrations allow participants to observe up close the expert gestures of local master bakers, while the aroma of freshly baked bread fills the village streets. This is more than just a gastronomic festival—it is a true laboratory of collective memory where ancient crafts come back to life through evocative recreations and processions of oxen adorned in traditional dress, adding a unique folkloric touch. This event perfectly embodies the spirit of sagr.it: celebrating authentic local traditions and offering visitors the opportunity to slow down, savour, and truly understand the territory. Panes e Funtanas is an invitation to rediscover the deep connection between land, water, and the fruits of a farming civilization that deserves to be remembered and celebrated.
