Sagra del Bico

In the heart of Tuscany, just a few kilometers from the Umbrian border, a fascinating gastronomic tradition comes to life: the Sagra del Bico di Piazze, in the province of Siena. Now in its 27th edition, this event celebrates a rustic bread with ancient roots, baked in a wood-fired oven according to recipes passed down through generations. The Bico is far more than simple bread: it is a symbol of cultural identity, a bridge between traditional Tuscan peasant cuisine and the Umbrian influences that characterize this small hamlet. What makes the Sagra del Bico truly special is the versatility of this authentic product. Once enjoyed simply as an accompaniment to humble home cooking, today it appears in countless variations: filled with local cured meats and cheeses, offered in both savory and sweet versions, capable of delighting every visitor's palate. During the festival, guests will have the opportunity to savor the Bico fresh from the oven, still warm and fragrant, in its many interpretations. The atmosphere of the event, which spans two weekends (June 26-28 and July 2-5), is enlivened by a rich program of live music performances that accompany the evenings. A perfect opportunity to discover authentic Tuscan traditions, meet local producers, and immerse yourself in a sensory experience where food takes center stage in stories of community and heritage.
