The Sagra dei Pici in Celle Sul Rigo represents an authentic celebration of a culinary tradition rooted deep in Tuscany's past. This event, which has endured for over half a century, transforms the entire village into a living workshop where pasta is prepared using methods passed down through generations. Pici, that distinctive hand-drawn pasta with its characteristic irregular thickness, demands dedication and precision: an ancient craft that involves the entire local community, united in the shared mission to preserve and celebrate this gastronomic heritage.
During the festival, visitors have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a genuine atmosphere, where they can witness the artisanal creation of pici and taste dishes prepared according to the most authentic local recipes. The sagra is far more than a food and wine event—it is a living testament to the unbreakable bond between a community and its cultural roots, where each batch of dough tells stories of dedication, hard work, and love for the land.
