About Fatt chiù là, la
A table that unites the village
On June 2nd, on the occasion of the Republic Day, Cercemaggiore celebrates Fatt chiù là, la, a large social table that transforms the entire village into an open-air kitchen. The event, one of the most anticipated of the year in the village in the province of Campobasso, focuses on conviviality and traditional flavours.
The simple dishes of peasant tradition
The festival features the simple dishes of Molise's peasant tradition, prepared and shared along the streets and squares of the centre. It's not just a gastronomic moment, but a community ritual that recalls the old way of gathering around the table, accompanied by live music and entertainment.
Cercemaggiore, the sentinel of the Samnites
Cercemaggiore is the highest municipality in the province of Campobasso, at about 930 metres above sea level, nicknamed the "sentinel of the Samnites" for its strategic position. Between the Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Libera and its mountain gastronomic traditions — handmade pasta, local meats, and cured meats — the village preserves a cultural heritage of great value, of which Fatt chiù là, la is one of the most vibrant expressions.
