The Valdichiana valley is preparing to celebrate its most authentic flavors with the 32nd edition of Sagra di Bacialla, the most anticipated summer event in the Terontola district of Cortona. From July 30th to August 9th (11 days of festivities), the evenings will come alive with food stalls serving traditional local dishes, from wood-fired oven pizza to sought-after specialties like braised shin of pork and paella. It's the perfect opportunity to discover the typical products of this Tuscan territory, renowned for its rich culinary heritage. But Sagra di Bacialla is far more than a feast for the palate: the event offers entertainment for all ages and the chance to dance under the stars with the finest Tuscan orchestras. The cool summer evenings of the Arezzo region become the ideal stage for gathering together, enjoying gastronomic delights and live music in the warm, convivial atmosphere that defines traditional Tuscan festivals. Organized by the Sagra di Bacialla Committee and held at the stadium in Terontola, locality Farinaio, the event takes its name from Rio Bacialla, the stream that winds through the Cortona district. This connection to the land embodies the true essence of the festival: celebrating local roots and the outstanding wine and food excellence of the Valdichiana.
