About Fegatello Festival

On August 14th, the eve of Ferragosto, Limosano celebrates the fegatello with its Fegatello Festival. In the village in the province of Campobasso, overlooking the Biferno valley, the gastronomic event promotes one of the most typical products of the Molisan peasant tradition, in a summer event that opens the town's rich calendar of August festivals.

The fegatello, flavour of tradition

The Fegatello Festival is the gastronomic feast that enlivens Limosano every August 14th, a town in the province of Campobasso in the Biferno valley. The star is the pork fegatello, a typical product of the Molisan peasant tradition, prepared and enjoyed according to local recipes.

On the eve of Ferragosto

The festival takes place on the eve of Ferragosto and kicks off the most intense period of the Limosano summer, which continues with the patronal feast of San Ludovico (August 19th) and the feast of San Donato. It is an event that combines gastronomy, conviviality, and tradition, attracting residents, visitors, and former Limosano residents back to the village.

Limosano celebrates

Among the festival stands and the streets of the historic centre perched on the tuff hill, the Fegatello Festival tells the gastronomic story of a village that makes traditional cuisine one of its distinctive features.
