Sagra del fungo e dei prodotti tipici

In the heart of Umbria, the small village of Pianello transforms every August into a gastronomic capital dedicated to mushrooms, one of the most precious treasures of local cuisine. The Sagra del fungo e dei prodotti tipici is an unmissable event for food and wine enthusiasts, who flock from across the region and beyond to savour the delicacies made with porcini mushrooms and other varieties that flourish abundantly in the surrounding woodland. The Pianello territory, rich and diverse, has always offered an abundance of mushrooms that are skillfully transformed according to Umbrian tradition. The festival offers a menu that is a true celebration of flavours: from mushroom bruschetta to strangozzi pasta, from gnocchi and tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms to polenta, from grilled mushrooms to fried specialities, right through to mushroom stew and grilled lamb. Each dish tells a story of tradition and quality. But the event is far more than a simple culinary celebration. The evenings come alive with performances by top orchestras, while the spacious covered dining area provides the ideal setting to enjoy the dishes in good company, accompanied by a selection of 15 varieties of beer. A complete experience that combines gastronomy, music and conviviality in the heart of Umbria.
