The festival celebrating the prized truffles of Colle San Magno, in the heart of the Ciociaria region
This edition has not been confirmed by the organiser to date. We recommend checking before going.
The Colle Truffle Festival is a food and wine celebration that brings the territory's most precious productโthe truffleโto Piazza Umberto I in the historic center of Colle San Magno every summer. Situated at an altitude of about 550 meters in the province of Frosinone, Lazio, this small Ciociaria village is surrounded by forests where renowned truffles are gathered, long a source of pride and a characteristic product of the area. The festival was created to highlight this excellence and introduce it to visitors through local cuisine.
The heart of the event lies in the food stalls set up in the square, where you can sample traditional dishes prepared with the prized fungus: pasta courses, tagliolini, and Ciociaria specialties reinterpreted with Colle truffles. The evening combines the discovery of authentic flavors with a festive atmosphere, featuring outdoor tables and the conviviality typical of village festivals.
The culinary offerings are complemented by live music, which accompanies the evening and turns Piazza Umberto I into a meeting point for residents and tourists. The festival is part of the rich summer calendar of Colle San Magno, filled with cultural events, religious traditions, and entertainment that enliven the village during July and August.
Founded in the 11th century by the inhabitants of the nearby Castrum Coeli, whose castle stood on Monte Asprano, Colle San Magno preserves a charming medieval historic center with its civic tower, the Church of San Magno, and the Church of Santa Maria in Cielo. The town, whose patron saint is San Magno, offers visitors a fascinating setting of nature, history, and tradition. The Colle Truffle Festival is organized by the Municipality of Colle San Magno in collaboration with the Associazione Tre Torri 2022.
The Colle Truffle Festival returns to Colle San Magno for the summer of 2026, confirming its place among the food and wine highlights of the Ciociaria village's summer calendar. As in previous editions, the event is expected to bring Piazza Umberto I to life with food stalls dedicated to local truffles, traditional local dishes, and live music.
