Sagra della Fojata e della Attorta

The Sagra della Fojata e dell'Attorta returns to Sellano in its original format, bringing with it the most authentic culinary tradition of the Valnerina region. From August 10-14, 2026, the Civil Protection village in Villamagina will transform into a gastronomic arena where ancient flavors come to life through recipes passed down through generations. Fojata salata and attorta dolce—respectively, pastries made with ultra-thin puff pastry filled with vegetables and cheese, or with dried fruit and alchermes liqueur—are the true stars of the event, recognized by the Municipality with the prestigious Denominazione comunale di origine (Municipal Origin Designation). Alongside these two emblematic specialties, food stands showcase other masterpieces of local cuisine: tagliatelle and gnocchi with truffle, wild boar and mutton, lamb alla scottadito, and snails in tomato sauce. Each dish tells a story of tradition and dedication, prepared according to recipes rooted in ancient times. These authentic, genuine flavors rich in history attract thousands of visitors each year eager to discover Umbria's gastronomic soul. The festival is more than just a celebration of food: entertainment and cultural activities accompany the rich evening menu, creating a convivial atmosphere where the local community welcomes visitors. In Sellano, dining means participating in a living tradition, savoring the past, and sharing unforgettable moments with those who love discovering Italy through its culinary treasures.
