Festa della Tagliatella - Cairo di Mombaroccio

A village festival in the heart of Montefeltro

The Festa della Tagliatella takes place every year in August in the hamlet of Cairo, a small village in the Municipality of Mombaroccio, in the Province of Pesaro and Urbino. It is one of the most cherished food and wine events in the Marche hills, capable of transforming a quiet hamlet into a meeting point for a few evenings, attracting visitors from all around and beyond. The event is part of the rich summer calendar of events in the Mombaroccio area, made up of sagre, traditions, and culture.

Handmade tagliatelle, the true star

The heart of the festival is the strictly handmade tagliatelle, prepared by the volunteers of the Comitato della Tagliatella. Thousands of portions are prepared by the committee's kitchens each edition, seasoned with sauces from traditional Marche peasant cuisine. Around the signature dish, food stalls offer local specialties, in a genuine and familiar atmosphere that is the hallmark of village sagre in this area.

Not just food: entertainment for all ages

In addition to good food, the evenings of the Festa della Tagliatella are enlivened by entertainment for all ages: from briscola card tournaments, a classic convivial pastime in Marche villages, to musical evenings with live music and dancing. Admission to the festival is free, in line with the popular and welcoming spirit of the event.

Organization and context

The festival is organized by the dedicated Comitato della Tagliatella in collaboration with the Pro Loco Mombaroccio APS, the Municipal Administration of Mombaroccio, and various local associations and organizations. It is part of the broader summer program promoted by the Pro Loco with the patronage of the Municipality and the Province of Pesaro and Urbino. For those visiting Mombaroccio, the festival is also an opportunity to discover the medieval village, the Sanctuary of Beato Sante, and the hills that characterize this corner of the Marche region.
