Sagra del Tordello

The Sagra del Tordello returns to Retignano, a charming hamlet in the municipality of Stazzema in the province of Lucca, to celebrate Saints Peter and Paul with a festival that blends culinary tradition and cultural entertainment. From June 26 to July 5, 2026, food stands will showcase authentic recipes from Apuan cuisine, with the celebrated local tordelli as the undisputed stars, alongside succulent grilled meats, spelt soup, local cheeses, and traditional desserts. An unmissable opportunity to savour the genuine flavours of Tuscan tradition immersed in the authentic atmosphere of a mountain village. The festival stands out for its wealth of supporting events that enliven the evenings: from a musical programme to traditional dances and cultural meetings that enrich the recreational offering. It is no coincidence that the event coincides with the 12th edition of ‹Retignano in Festival›, a singing competition that brings further prestige to the celebration. Every evening, from 19:00 to 23:00, dinners animate both the local community and visitors in an atmosphere of conviviality and genuine Apuan hospitality. The village also offers a picturesque natural setting: from Retignano, your gaze sweeps across the magnificent surrounding mountains, creating the perfect frame for a festival where food, music, and the beauty of the territory meet in perfect harmony. **How to get here:** Retignano is easily accessible by car from Lucca (approximately 40 km) via the SR439. Parking is available near the main square. **Prices:** Tordelli menu starting from €18.00, grilled meats from €16.00. **Reservations recommended** for groups. **Don't miss this authentic experience:** join the Sagra del Tordello and discover why this festival has become a benchmark for lovers of genuine Tuscan cuisine!
