Sagra del Tartufo a Cellai

The 47th edition of the Sagra del Tartufo a Cellai returns to Rignano sull'Arno to celebrate one of Tuscany's most iconic culinary treasures. Organized by the Circolo Arci Cellai Guglielmo Ghiandelli, this beloved festival takes place over three weekends in June (5-7, 12-14, and 19-21), transforming Piazza Guglielmo Ghiandelli into a captivating gastronomic showcase where authentic Florentine Valdarno traditions and flavors reign supreme. Culinary excellence is at the heart of the celebration: each evening, food stands showcase local specialties prepared with masterful skill, from the festival's signature dish—uovo al tegamino con tartufo (pan-fried eggs with truffle)—to handmade penne strascicate, traditional lasagna, and the renowned rosticciana (grilled ribs). Every dish honors time-tested recipes, elevating truffle as a noble ingredient while celebrating local producers from the region. Beyond gastronomy, the festival offers a rich program featuring wine tastings and local products, artisanal markets, cultural initiatives, live music performances, local fashion shows, evening dances, and sporting activities—transforming it into a genuine community celebration. Here, truffle becomes the gateway to rediscovering the area's farming heritage and gastronomic identity. This is an unmissable experience for anyone seeking to immerse themselves in authentic Tuscany, savor dishes crafted with premium ingredients, and participate in a nearly fifty-year tradition that has become a landmark destination for food lovers and conviviality enthusiasts. Admission is free, and dishes are priced accessibly to ensure everyone can participate.
