Sagra del Tortello (Tortello Festival)

In Donoratico, in the heart of Tuscany's Maremma region, summer's most delicious event returns: the Sagra del Tortello. From August 19-25, the Parco delle Sughere transforms into a gastronomic arena where the authentic flavors of local tradition take center stage. Maremmano tortelli, the undisputed stars of the festival, are accompanied by other irresistible specialties such as frati, filled bomboloni pastries, and fried zonzelle—a culinary journey through recipes that have defined this fascinating region's cuisine for generations. The sagra is far more than a celebration of food; it's a true tribute to Maremma culture. Each evening, starting at 7:00 PM, gastronomic stands welcome visitors in three dining seatings (at 7:00 PM, 8:00 PM, and 9:00 PM), creating a convivial and welcoming atmosphere where tradition and community spirit intertwine. As you savor local specialties, you can participate in ongoing bingo games and explore the artisan exhibition, making your evening even richer with entertainment and surprises. Organized by the Unione ciclistica Donoratico, this event offers the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in Maremma's gastronomic culture, understanding the historical roots and traditional techniques that define this region. It's the ideal occasion to share moments of joy with friends and family, tasting the authentic flavors of rural Tuscany.
