L’oro di Spello – Festa dell’olivo e sagra della bruschetta

Spello transforms into a temple of olive oil excellence with ‹L'oro di Spello›, a festival celebrating extra virgin olive oil in all its forms. From November 14-16, 2026, this enchanting Umbrian village welcomes visitors on a sensory journey where bruschetta topped with freshly pressed oil becomes the thread connecting an authentic experience. Gastronomic stands throughout the historic center offer not only the famous fettuntelle, but also traditional Umbrian dishes paired with local wines that enhance the genuine flavors of the region. The event transcends simple tasting: it transforms the village into a grand stage where flavor, culture, and spirituality coexist. Costumed processions and folk performances evoke Spello's historical roots, while artisan markets offer opportunities to discover local creations. Essential to the experience are guided visits to olive mills and workshops that reveal the secrets of oil production, telling how olive oil became the community's defining symbol. ‹L'oro di Spello› represents the perfect balance between popular celebration and cultural discovery, where every visitor can choose whether to be guided by their palate or their curiosity. It's the ideal opportunity to understand the profound connection between a territory, its inhabitants, and the fruit of their dedication: the liquid gold that has characterized this blessed land for centuries.
