About Festival dei Sapori Molisani

In August, Scapoli, in the province of Isernia, hosts the Festival dei Sapori Molisani, the so-called Sagra delle Sagre (Festival of Festivals): a grand evening dedicated to the typical dishes and wines of Molise, from the famous 'raviolo scapolese' to the specialties of the local Pro Loco associations. Born in 2009 and having reached the European Parliament in Brussels, the event enlivens the historic center of the bagpipe village with tastings and a festive atmosphere.

The Sagra delle Sagre in Scapoli

In Scapoli (province of Isernia), famous as the capital of the bagpipe ('zampogna'), the summer calendar also includes a highly anticipated food and wine event: the Festival dei Sapori Molisani, known as the Sagra delle Sagre. The event takes place in the first ten days of August and transforms the historic center of the village into a grand showcase of the region's flavors.

From the Scapolese Raviolo to the European Parliament

Founded in 2009 to bring together and promote the Pro Loco associations of the province of Isernia, the festival has also had an international spotlight: in 2010, Molise's specialties, and in particular the 'raviolo scapolese', were presented at the European Parliament in Brussels. Since then, the event has grown as a moment for promoting typical products and the gastronomic identity of Molise.

An Evening of Taste in the Historic Center

The event takes place in the evening in the heart of the village: stands and tastings offer typical dishes and Molise wines, from handmade pasta to products from the local Pro Loco associations. An opportunity to discover the cuisine of the province of Isernia in a convivial atmosphere, just a short walk from the Bagpipe Museum.
