Badiola nel Verde - Sagra del Baccalà alla Perugina

Return to Badiola, a charming hamlet of Perugia, for the Sagra del Baccalà alla Perugina, an unmissable event for lovers of Umbrian cuisine and fish specialties. From July 3–12, 2026, this small village transforms into a gastronomic oasis where salt cod, prepared according to the traditional Perugian recipe with tomato and pine nuts, takes center stage. A dish steeped in centuries of regional culinary history that continues to captivate visitors' palates. Baccalà alla Perugina is an Umbrian gastronomic treasure: the fish is slowly braised in a sauce of ripe tomatoes, enriched with roasted pine nuts that add sweetness and crunch, and completed with local aromatics. A sensory experience that reconnects you with the authentic flavors of the region. But the festival offers far more than just salt cod: a varied menu satisfies every preference, featuring fresh pasta dishes, meat specialties, bruschetta, and other Umbrian delicacies that showcase the territory's gastronomic richness. Evening entertainment and live musical performances with orchestras and bands create a festive, convivial atmosphere. Among the standout events, Sunday, July 6 features a captivating gathering of vintage cars and motorcycles starting at 9:00 AM—a must for enthusiasts of historic vehicles and retro charm. Badiola nel Verde masterfully blends gastronomy, entertainment, and culture, combining tradition and enjoyment in an unforgettable experience.
