About Pappardelle Festival
A festival in the feudal village
The Pappardelle Festival takes place in Finocchieto, a charming hamlet of Stroncone, in the province of Terni. It is a small feudal-era village nestled in the green Umbrian Apennines, at an altitude of 460 meters above sea level, which comes alive every summer for one of the most cherished gastronomic events in the area.
Handmade pappardelle
The absolute star is the fresh pappardelle, strictly handmade by the village housewives according to tradition. It is served in many delicious variations, accompanied by other local culinary specialties, from grilled meats to typical Umbrian dishes. The festival is held at the Multifunctional Area, an indoor facility that ensures the events can proceed even in case of bad weather.
Music and conviviality
Every evening, the festival is accompanied by live music with bands and ensembles, transforming Finocchieto into a meeting point for locals and visitors arriving from neighboring towns. The festival is an opportunity to discover a little-known corner of Umbria and to taste genuine cuisine, linked to the agricultural traditions of the territory.
