Hunters' Festival

The Hunters' Festival, a Fiano Romano tradition

The Hunters' Festival is one of the most deep-rooted summer events in Fiano Romano, a town in the Metropolitan City of Rome, in the Lazio region, overlooking the Tiber Valley at the gates of Sabina. Organized by the "Le Sasseta" Hunters' Club with the patronage of the Municipality, the event enlivens the last weekend of June every year and is part of the rich Estate Fianese calendar. The Monte Severino grove, an area immersed in greenery on the outskirts of the town, becomes a three-day landmark for lovers of rural traditions, authentic flavors, and conviviality.

The Procession of Saint Hubert

The festivities open with a moment particularly dear to the community: the procession in honor of Saint Hubert, the patron saint of hunters. The statue of the saint is carried on shoulders from the Club's headquarters through the streets of the Monte Severino area, accompanied by a marching band, civil and military authorities, and a long procession of the faithful. The celebration, followed by mass, renews every year a deep bond between the local hunting community and its religious and popular roots.

Game meat as the star

The heart of the festival is its gastronomic area, which offers a rich and varied menu focused on game. Visitors can taste specialties based on hare, wild boar, and mutton, prepared according to local traditional recipes passed down among the Club members. These dishes, cooked with care and served in an honest and convivial atmosphere, are the most distinctive element of the event and attract curious foodies from neighboring towns.

Music, shows, and fun for everyone

Beyond the food, the Hunters' Festival offers a program designed to engage all ages: musical evenings, live performances, entertainment, and games dedicated to children animate the three days until late at night. The simple and well-tested formula makes this event a meeting place for families and the entire community, in a natural setting that makes the experience even more pleasant.

An event that has grown over time

Reaching its fourteenth edition in 2026, the Hunters' Festival has consolidated its success over the years thanks to solid and passionate organization. From a simple gathering of Club members, it has transformed into a true village festival, capable of attracting residents and visitors alike and celebrating, at the start of summer, the rural identity and hunting traditions of the Fiano Romano area.
