About Flavors and History of the Village
A journey through the alleys of the ancient village
«Flavors and History of the Village» is the Christmas festival that, in late December, breathes new life into the stone streets of the Rione Curthi, the oldest core of Coreno Ausonio, a town in the province of Frosinone in southern Lazio. For one evening, the alleys of the historic center transform into a sprawling itinerary where the region's rich history and culture intertwine with the scents and flavors of local tradition.
The history of the village and its wine
The event was created to celebrate the town's identity and share its roots. According to tradition, the name «Coreno» has ancient origins linked to wine, and the territory is associated with the memory of Caecubum, one of the most celebrated wines in ancient Rome. Walking through the Curthi means retracing the winemaking and farming vocation of this land, from its medieval settlement in the upper part of the town to the customs that still define the community's life today.
The food and wine trail
The heart of the festival is the food and wine trail set up along the alleys: the cellars and corners of the village open their doors to offer tastings of traditional dishes, genuine local products, and regional wines. Walking from stop to stop, visitors discover the popular cuisine of Coreno in a scenic setting made of stone, lights, and ancient portals.
Shows, theater, and bagpipers
The stroll is accompanied by live shows, street artists, theatrical performances, and entertainment dedicated to children. The most authentic touch of the Christmas season comes from the zampognari (traditional bagpipers), whose ancient melodies resonate through the alleys of the Rione Curthi, guiding visitors with notes steeped in history and memory.
A community event
«Flavors and History of the Village» is organized by the Municipality of Coreno Ausonio together with the Pro Loco of Coreno Ausonio APS, involving citizens, volunteers, and local businesses. Included in the «Christmas in Coreno» program, the festival has quickly become a defining event for the town and a compelling reason to visit one of the most charming villages in southern Lazio during the holidays.
