About Festa del Cinghiale
Wild boar takes center stage at the table
The Festa del Cinghiale di Montecchio is the summer event dedicated to one of the meats most closely linked to the tradition of the Umbrian hinterland. In the medieval village in the province of Terni, the festival enlivens Piazza Garibaldi with food stands offering wild boar cooked according to local recipes.
Target shooting and gastronomic prizes
Among the most characteristic attractions is the running wild boar target shooting with an air rifle, a competition that awards gastronomic prizes every evening according to internal regulations. It is one of the elements that makes this festival a recognizable event in the Terni summer calendar.
Music and socializing
Alongside gastronomy and shooting, the festival offers music and moments of socializing, in a convivial atmosphere that attracts locals and visitors from the surrounding areas. The event takes place over two distinct periods in August.
