The 27th edition

On Saturday, July 19, 2025, the hamlet of Casali di Poggio Nativo hosted the twenty-seventh edition of the Gnocchi al Castrato Festival, included in the calendar of the 47th Sant'Anna Festival organized by the Comitato Casali.

Stalls opened at 8:00 PM with the signature dish of the evening, handmade gnocchi with castrato sauce, prepared according to the traditional Sabina recipe. From 9:00 PM, the stage was taken over by the cover band Jovasafari, which had the audience singing and dancing under the stars.
