In the heart of the Venetian countryside, in Belfiore di Pramaggiore, one of Veneto's most iconic cured meats is celebrated: sopressa. The Sagra della Sopressa is an event that pays homage to Venetian butchering traditions, when this delicious soft and aromatic salami becomes the undisputed star of the table. With its generous slices served on rustic bread, sopressa represents the essence of genuine gastronomy without compromise—one that speaks of territory and history.

During the eleven days of the event, visitors can savor simple yet extraordinary dishes: sopressa sandwiches, mixed platters that tell the story of local cured meat richness, hearty ragù gnocchi, polenta and cheeses paired with the finest Venetian wines. It is not just food, but an immersive experience in the way of life and food celebration of country people, where every ingredient has a story and every recipe is the passing down of ancient knowledge.

The Sagra della Sopressa is a true village celebration, where live music, raffles, and dancing evenings create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Designed to bring families and children together, the event embodies the genuine pleasure of things done well—that decisive and authentic taste that reminds us how true richness lies in simple things, shared around a table.
