About Sagra di San Michele
Pioppini mushrooms take centre stage
The Antica Sagra di San Michele, also known as the Festa dei Funghi Pioppini, takes place in the charming hamlet of Costozza, in the municipality of Longare, in the Berici Hills in the province of Vicenza. The sagra, traditionally linked to the feast of San Michele, has the pioppino mushroom as its absolute star, served in many preparations at the food stand along with the specialities of Venetian cuisine.
Flavours and tradition in Costozza
In addition to pioppini mushrooms, each evening features the characteristic fritoe de Costoza, a selection of local wines, and other typical dishes. Costozza is a village known for its villas, caves, and 'covoli' (natural shelters), which provide a picturesque backdrop to the festival.
A festival for the whole community
The Antica Sagra di San Michele is not just about food: the programme includes musical entertainment, dance performances, exhibitions, sporting events, and the charity raffle, with initiatives designed to involve families and visitors of all ages. An event that renews every autumn the bond between the village of Costozza and its traditions, promoting the products of the Berici area.
