About Frittella Festival
Pozzo and the traditional fritter
Pozzo is a hamlet in the municipality of Gualdo Cattaneo, in the province of Perugia, nestled among the olive groves of Umbria del Sagrantino. Here, every July, the Frittella Festival, one of the most characteristic festivals in the Gualdo area, is renewed. The sweet fritter that gives the festival its name comes from a recipe passed down through generations, linked to the ancient peasant custom of celebrating the end and abundance of the olive harvest with this dessert.
A table between sweet and savory
The food stands offer fritters in various versions — with honey, orange cream, and other delicacies — alongside the great classics of Umbrian cuisine: gnocchi with goose sauce, strangozzi with truffle, wild boar, and sausages, to be paired with local wines. Every evening, on stage, the best orchestras take turns for dancing evenings, involving young and old alike.
An authentic village festival
Now in its many editions, the Pozzo Frittella Festival is an opportunity to discover an authentic corner of inland Umbria, with good food, music, and popular tradition, just a few kilometers from Montefalco and the Sagrantino Wine Route.
Frittella Festival — edition 2026
The 44th edition of the Pozzo Frittella Festival is scheduled over two weekends: from Friday July 3rd to Sunday July 5th and from Thursday July 9th to Sunday July 12th, 2026. The protagonists remain the sweet fritters prepared according to the traditional recipe, served in various versions, alongside the dishes of Umbrian cuisine — gnocchi with goose sauce, strangozzi with truffle, wild boar, and sausages — and local wines. Every evening, you can dance to the best orchestras.
