The Sagra della Fava Cottora dell'Amerino, Polenta alla Carbonara e Cinghiale alla Colcellese returns to Collicello, a hamlet of Amelia in Umbria, for its 12th edition. From July 16-25, 2026, this charming village becomes an unmissable opportunity to discover the authentic flavours of the Amerino culinary tradition, where local dishes meet the warm hospitality of the community. Three absolute stars of the festival and three masterpieces of Umbrian cuisine: the Fava Cottora dell'Amerino, a noble legume cultivated for centuries in these fertile lands, served stewed with delicate, genuine notes; Polenta alla Carbonara, a creative local reinterpretation that blends Roman tradition with Umbrian flavours, stirred fresh to guarantee perfect creaminess; and Cinghiale alla Colcellese, wild boar hunted in the surrounding woods and cooked using methods passed down through generations, culminating in a rich, full-bodied sauce. The gastronomic stand opens Thursday, July 16 at 7:00 PM and remains open until midnight (hours may vary on peak evenings). Beyond the three signature dishes, the covered tavern offers a rich menu of traditional specialities: Umbrian antipasti, fresh homemade pasta, local cheeses and typical desserts. Beverages include selected regional wines and craft beers. But the festival is more than just food and wine: every evening from 9:00 PM onwards, live orchestras will animate the stage with dancing evenings, live music and entertainment, transforming the celebration into a complete experience where rhythm and music accompany the pleasure of fine dining. A festive and convivial atmosphere, perfect for families, couples and groups of friends. An event organised with dedication by the Pro Loco di Collicello, essential for anyone wishing to immerse themselves in the authentic atmosphere of Umbrian villages and discover the true taste of tradition.
