The Sagra della Piadina Fritta of Crespino del Lamone represents one of the most eagerly awaited summer events in Alto Mugello, a perfect opportunity to discover the authentic flavors of what is called ‹Tuscany's Romagna›. Despite its location in Tuscan territory, this fascinating area preserves culinary traditions influenced by Romagnol heritage, creating a unique and captivating gastronomic blend. The fried piadina, the undisputed star of these two days, perfectly embodies this hybrid identity and represents a delicious bridge between two regions. The festival program offers a complete experience celebrating tradition and conviviality. Food stalls remain open from 11:00 to 23:00 (indicative times, subject to variations) to allow visitors to choose the best time for their visit. Beyond the starring fried piadina, available in various filled varieties, visitors can enjoy crispy panzerotti, tomato and prosciutto bruschetta, grilled wurstel and sausages—all refreshed by the pleasant summer evenings that characterize the Mugello hills. An excellent reason to escape the city heat and rediscover the authentic atmosphere of small Tuscan villages. The event takes place at Piazza del Circolo Sociale and in the common areas of Crespino del Lamone, with ample spaces for socializing. Beyond gastronomic delights, the festival offers a festive atmosphere with live music entertainment on Saturday and Sunday evenings, creating a welcoming and authentic setting that brings the community together. Organized by Circolo Sociale Crespino del Lamone with support from local volunteers, this initiative confirms the community's commitment to preserving and enhancing local gastronomic heritage. An unmissable opportunity for those wishing to connect food, territory, and traditions.
