Funnateglie Festival
The identity dish of Jelsi between eggs, sausage, and peppers
About Funnateglie Festival
The funnateglie, dish of the heart
The Funnateglie Festival is dedicated to one of the most representative dishes of the peasant tradition of Jelsi, in the province of Campobasso. The funnateglie is a rich and iconic stew, prepared with eggs, local sausage, peppers, and tomato, to be enjoyed strictly accompanied by the village's homemade bread.
A feast of flavors
For a few days, the historic center of Jelsi comes alive with food stalls, music, and moments of conviviality around this dish that "tells the gastronomic history of Jelsi like few others". The festival is an opportunity to rediscover the authentic flavors of the inland Molise region and to experience the hospitality of a small village that proudly preserves its culinary traditions.
Tradition and community
Part of the rich calendar of Molise festivals, the Funnateglie Festival represents a moment of aggregation for the community of Jelsi and an attraction for visitors seeking genuine local cuisine, far from the most beaten tourist circuits.
