Capù Festival – Terzano

Capù: the dish that celebrates in Terzano

Terzano is a small hamlet in the Municipality of Angolo Terme, in Valle Camonica, Province of Brescia. Here, for over thirty years, the preparation of 'capù' has been celebrated with a dedicated festival that mobilizes the entire village: the 'capù' are rolls made from chard leaves, filled with stale bread and grated cheese, a little meat, and a "secret" mix of spices. It's a dish from the poor mountain cuisine, born from the need to waste nothing, which has become a symbol of Terzano's identity over the years.

An entire community at the stoves

The most distinctive feature of the festival is the choral participation: young and old work side-by-side to produce thousands of rolls, in an organization that is itself part of the celebration. The evenings offer:

• tasting of 'capù' prepared according to the traditional recipe
• cocktail bar and refreshment stands
• live or broadcast music starting in the evening
• the intimate atmosphere of a hamlet reachable only on foot or by motorcycle

A Camuna summer event

For the Municipality of Angolo Terme and for the entire upper Valle Camonica, the Sagra dei Capù of Terzano is one of the most beloved gastronomic events of the summer. Organized by the Pro Loco and the local community, it celebrates a recipe that tells the farming history of the valley, directly in the place where it was born and is passed down.
