The Porcini Mushroom Festival is a culinary and cultural celebration that takes place at the start of autumn, when porcini mushrooms are in season. This event honors the Boletus edulis del Ceppo, one of Italy’s most prized and flavorful mushrooms, known for its rich, aromatic taste. It’s a fantastic opportunity to experience local culture, savor delicious dishes, and enjoy the outdoors in a lively atmosphere. The festival is held in the square in front of the town hall and spans three days. Visitors can sample a variety of porcini mushroom-based dishes, such as tagliatelle, gnocchi, arrosticini, pecora alla callara, and pizza with mushrooms. The event also features live music, entertainment for all ages, markets with local products, educational workshops, and guided mushroom-picking tours in the surrounding woods.
