In the heart of Umbria, in Trevi, a cherished annual celebration unites agricultural tradition and local gastronomic culture. The Black Celery Market Fair represents a unique opportunity to discover one of Italy's most distinctive vegetables, cultivated exclusively in a very limited area using some of the most labor-intensive agricultural techniques. During the third weekend of October, the main square transforms into a charming open-air market, where celery growers display their finest specimens in wooden crates, competing for the prestigious award reserved for the most beautiful examples of this extraordinary vegetable with its distinctly white stems and vibrant green fronds. But the event is far more than a simple market fair: held simultaneously is the Sausage Festival, rooted in an ancient Umbrian tradition. Autumn, with its first cold spells, has always been the ideal season for pig slaughter and the production of local delicacies such as sausages and mazzafegati. In the same square, local butchers gather to showcase their freshly prepared specialties, creating a perfect pairing between these two gastronomic traditions. A complete Umbrian culinary experience awaits you: enjoy raw celery served with pinzimonio, accompanied by delicious sausages grilled over hot coals. An event where ingredient simplicity combines with the richness of tradition, in a celebration of local food and wine excellence.
