Festa di San Martino - Sagra della Torta sotto il Foco
The patron saint, the truffle, and the 'torta sotto il foco' in Fabro
About Festa di San Martino Fabro
The patron saint of Fabro between November and truffles
In the centre of Fabro, in the province of Terni, the Festa di San Martino is the patronal event of November, celebrated concurrently with the renowned National Truffle Market Exhibition. While Fabro Scalo hosts the exhibition stands, the main town experiences the more traditional and community-focused dimension of the festival.
The 'torta sotto 'l foco' and autumn flavours
The most cherished moment is the Sagra della «Torta sotto 'l foco», scheduled for Sunday: the typical focaccia cooked under ash and embers, a symbol of Umbrian peasant cuisine. Under the tent, a catering service is set up with local truffle dishes, accompanied by live music from the Merla Folk Band and the festive atmosphere of the patron saint's days.
The Carnaiola reenactment
The festival also involves the hamlet of Carnaiola, where a medieval reconstruction takes place, animated by the Historical Parade of Monteleone d'Orvieto. A weekend that combines devotion, gastronomy, and history, making Fabro and southern Umbria an authentic destination for autumn food and wine tourism.
