Ciccia - Festival della Salsiccia Italiana
The first national festival dedicated to Italian sausage, between the taverns and squares of Gubbio's historic center
About Ciccia
Sausage like you've never tasted it before
Ciccia is the first national festival of Italian sausage, created to showcase and offer tastings of one of the country's most popular cured meats in all its infinite regional variations. The setting is the splendid historic center of Gubbio, in the province of Perugia: the ancient taverns and squares of the medieval city are transformed into a large, widespread tasting experience.
A gastronomic journey from Sicily to Trentino
The format is that of a widespread tasting: each tavern hosts selected sausage makers and butchers from all over Italy, "from Sicily to Trentino-Alto Adige," who present the various local sausage-making traditions. Accompanying the sausages are regional wineries and craft breweries present in each tavern, along with typical bread from each territory. A taste journey that crosses the entire peninsula.
Not just food: music, street performance, and family
Ciccia is not just about gastronomy: the program includes live music, concerts, street artists, and events for all ages, as well as a market of regional specialties. A celebration that combines the conviviality of Italian sagre (food festivals) with the quality of a curated selection of producers, while also highlighting the historical and architectural heritage of Gubbio.
