About Festival of Cazzarielli and Beans
Cazzarielli, pasta of tradition
In Forlì del Sannio, in the province of Isernia, the Festival of Cazzarielli and Beans celebrates one of the most representative dishes of Molise's humble cuisine. Cazzarielli are a short, handmade fresh pasta that pairs perfectly with beans in a hearty and genuine dish, an expression of the peasant tradition of upper Molise.
A Ferragosto Celebration
The festival is traditionally held on Ferragosto, August 15th, when the village comes alive and welcomes residents and visitors. Food stalls offer cazzarielli with beans and other local specialties, in a festive and convivial atmosphere typical of Molise summer festivals.
