Edition 2025 — Gnoccacci Festival

The 40th edition of the Gnoccacci with Porcini Mushroom Sauce Festival took place in Rocca Santo Stefano over two Saturdays in late August 2025, the 23rd and 30th, starting at 7:30 PM in Piazza Pontica. On that occasion, the local gnoccacci, a rustic water-and-flour pasta served with a sauce of porcini mushrooms from local woods, were prepared and cooked on the spot by Pro Loco volunteers, with two live concerts accompanying the evenings.

The 40th edition, August 2025

In 2025, the Gnoccacci Festival reached the milestone of 40 editions, confirming the format of two late-summer evenings: Saturday, August 23 and Saturday, August 30, with stands opening at 7:30 PM in Piazza Pontica, in Rocca Santo Stefano.

The star dish was, as always, the local gnoccaccio, hand-kneaded with water and flour and served with a sauce of porcini mushrooms foraged from the woods surrounding the village in the Prenestini Mountains. The event was organized by the Municipality in collaboration with the Pro Loco.

The two evenings were accompanied by live music in the square: on August 23, Dissonanti performed, while on August 30, it was the turn of SMILF. The 2026 edition subsequently moved the event to July.
