About Promano in Festa
The Castrato Feast
Promano in Festa is the summer festival of the hamlet of Promano, a few kilometers from Città di Castello (province of Perugia). The event, organized by the Pro Loco Promano, features castrato — adult ram — as the absolute star, cooked according to local peasant tradition recipes, a specialty that attracts food lovers from all over the area.
Gastronomy and Evenings Together
The gastronomic stands, set up in the Green Area of Via Romana, offer castrato in various preparations accompanied by side dishes and flavors of Umbrian cuisine. The evenings are enlivened by music and dancing, in a convivial atmosphere that makes Promano in Festa an anticipated event of the Tifernate summer.
