Festa del paese e del tortello di patate

In the mountains of Casentino, at Cetica, Aretine culinary tradition is celebrated with genuine authenticity. The Festa del paese e del tortello di patate is the occasion to savor one of the dishes that symbolize the local community: tortelli handmade with pasta rolled out with a mattarello and a simple yet extraordinarily tasty filling, where potatoes, garlic, parsley and cheese meet in perfect harmony. Served with butter and sage or with a rich ragù, these tortelli represent the beating heart of a tradition that is not displayed, but eaten.

But the festival is much more than a culinary celebration: it's a true village festival that involves the entire community and visitors in a warm and family atmosphere. Alongside the tortelli you'll find grilled meats, fragrant sausages, rustic side dishes prepared according to handed-down recipes and homemade desserts that smell of tradition. Live music, popular games and craft markets complete an experience that allows visitors to immerse themselves completely in local culture.

Cetica welcomes every guest with a smile and the aroma of fresh pasta, inviting you to discover Casentino through its authentic flavors. A festival where walks through woods and chestnut groves alternate with convivial moments in the square, where simplicity is a virtue and authenticity is the only non-negotiable ingredient.
