Sagra degli strozzapreti e dei prodotti maremmani

In the hamlet of Sticciano, in the heart of Tuscany's Maremma region, one of the most authentic gatherings for lovers of traditional cuisine comes to life: the Sagra degli Strozzapreti e dei Prodotti Maremmani. From July 5-13, 2026, this small village transforms into a stage of genuine flavors where strozzapreti—handmade fresh pasta with an irregular, characteristic shape—becomes the undisputed star. Dressed with rustic sauces like wild boar ragù or garden vegetables, these noodles perfectly embody the essence of Tuscan farmhouse cooking, rooted deep in the region's agricultural traditions.

The festival is more than just an opportunity to savor iconic dishes; it's a true sensory journey through the products of the Maremma territory. Alongside strozzapreti, you'll find artisanal cured meats, local cheeses, hearty vegetable soups, and traditional sweets, all accompanied by genuine wines produced in the surrounding area. Each dish tells a story of dedication and respect for quality ingredients, of knowledge passed down through generations of farmers and cooks.

The atmosphere that characterizes the festival is authentically Tuscan: music, dancing, craft markets, and the warm hospitality of volunteers and local residents create a genuine spirit of conviviality. Walking through Sticciano during these days means immersing yourself in the heart of the Maremma, far from mass tourism, where food becomes the universal language through which the community expresses its pride and identity.
