About Pasta and Beans Festival

Every first Saturday of August, Piazza San Giovanni in Campolieto hosts the Pasta and Beans Festival, a summer event organized by the Associazione Amici di Campolieto. Pasta and beans, pork rind rolls, and roasted sausage are the stars of an evening of taste and conviviality in the Molise village, accompanied by music and entertainment.

The summer festival in Campolieto

The Pasta and Beans Festival is one of the most anticipated gastronomic events of the summer in Campolieto, a village in the province of Campobasso. Now in its thirty-first edition, the festival takes place in Piazza San Giovanni and is organized by the Associazione Amici di Campolieto.

Traditional dishes

The star is the dish that gives the festival its name: pasta and beans, a simple and hearty recipe from Molise peasant cuisine. Alongside it, the stalls offer pork rind rolls and roasted sausage, in a menu that tells the authentic flavors of the territory.
