Sagra delle Ficattole

The Sagra delle Ficattole in Scandicci is a traditional celebration of one of Tuscany's most beloved popular dishes. On Sunday, May 10th, at the MCL Circle of San Vincenzo a Torri, this event returns to honor the most delicious fried pastries, where ficattole—simple bread dough fritters—are prepared using the same recipe passed down for 40 years. Ficattole represent a piece of Tuscan culinary history: born as affordable street food in peasant family kitchens, they have become a symbol of conviviality and popular tradition. The MCL Circle's recipe, perfected over decades, preserves the simple and genuine ingredients that guarantee authenticity: fried leavened dough in boiling oil, for a result that is crispy outside and soft inside. This edition offers a variety of interpretations to satisfy all palates: from simple, golden and crispy ficattole, to versions filled with prosciutto, oregano and fontina cheese that delight those who love savory combinations. For the most indulgent, there are personalized recipes and the sweet ficattole alla Nutella, perfect for ending the day on a sweet note. The MCL Circle of San Vincenzo a Torri has transformed the preparation of ficattole into a true culinary art, keeping alive a tradition that represents the essence of Tuscan street food. The festival is the perfect opportunity for a Sunday of conviviality, accompanied by live entertainment, traditional Tuscan music, and games for children.
