Note di Gusto

Note di Gusto: A journey through flavors and melodies in Longi

Every autumn, Note di Gusto brings the historic center of Longi to life. Perched at an altitude of 620 meters in the Fitalia river valley, in the heart of the Nebrodi Park in the province of Messina, this is one of the most beloved events of the Nebrodi season: an itinerant gastronomic and musical tour where traditional cuisine engages with Sicilian folk music.

A path between taste and music

The event winds through the village's historic streets, from Corso Umberto I to Piazza Belvedere Serro, crossing the ancient quarters. Along the way, visitors can sample traditional dishes and recipes, while folk groups accompany the stroll with melodies and songs of the Sicilian tradition. The initiative focuses on promoting and recovering local recipes, from homemade bread and desserts to the meats and cured products of the renowned Nebrodi black pig.

Part of the OttobrArte festival

Note di Gusto serves as the grand finale of OttobrArte, a cultural festival that animates Longi throughout October with excursions, guided tours of monuments, nature walks, and workshops dedicated to the ancient crafts of the Nebrodi. The event celebrates the culture, music, and fine dining of a mountain region rich in traditions, offering residents and tourists a chance to rediscover the village's identity.

Organizers

The event is promoted by the Municipality of Longi in collaboration with the La Stretta Naturalistic Association and AVOL San Leone, with the support of the Regional Department of Tourism, Sport, and Entertainment of the Sicilian Region. It is a collaborative effort that unites local institutions and associations to promote the territory and its food and wine excellence.
