Sagra dello Strozzaprete (Strozzaprete Festival)

The Sagra dello Strozzaprete in Scansano Murci returns for its 30th edition to celebrate one of the most iconic dishes of Maremma's culinary tradition. From July 24-26, 2026, this charming Tuscan village transforms into a captivating gastronomic destination where history, culture, and authentic flavors converge. Strozzapreti—with their characteristic elongated, twisted shape—are the beating heart of this celebration: the undisputed stars at the food stands, prepared according to the most traditional recipes, from cacio bugiardo to tomato sauce, alongside creative reinterpretations that honor local innovation. Beyond the celebrated strozzapreti, the festival offers a complete sensory journey through Tuscan Maremma. Cinghiale alla murciaiola, a dish with strong territorial identity, and excellent grilled meats are paired with outstanding local products, all accompanied by the prized wines of Cantina del Morellino di Scansano. This combination transforms every taste into an authentic connection with the land and its traditions. But the Sagra dello Strozzaprete is more than just food: it's an event celebrating conviviality and the joy of gathering together. With live entertainment every evening, live music accompanying dinners in the piazza, and a festive atmosphere throughout the village, this event offers a complete experience where good food becomes the perfect reason to rediscover the values of community and Tuscan hospitality.
