Croccante Festival

The 23rd edition of the Croccante Festival took place in Forme di Massa d'Albe on August 17, 2025, starting at 7:00 PM in Piazza della Chiesa. The masterpiece of the year was a spectacular 85-kilogram croccante sculpture reproducing the church of San Teodoro Martire, the village's symbol, created by local artisans.

The evening featured tastings of typical Marsican products — pasta e fagioli, arrosticini, sausages, pecorino, pecora al cotturo, and Abruzzese wines — accompanied by the folk music of the groups Bitfolk and I 4+1. Guests of the edition included Bishop Giovanni Massaro and chef Arianna Gatti. The event, organized by the Quiss'elle Forme association with the patronage of the Municipality of Massa d'Albe, confirmed its growing popularity in the Marsica region.
