The castrato festival in the hamlet of Promano
About Promano in Festa
The castrato festival
Promano in Festa is the summer sagra (food festival) of the hamlet of Promano, a few kilometres from Città di Castello (province of Perugia). The event, organised by Pro Loco Promano, has as its absolute star castrato — adult sheep meat — cooked according to local peasant tradition recipes, a specialty that attracts food lovers from all over the area.
Gastronomy and evenings with friends
The food stands, set up in the Area Verde on Via Romana, offer castrato in various preparations accompanied by side dishes and flavours 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.
A village tradition
Like many sagre in the villages of the Upper Tiber Valley, Promano in Festa is above all a moment for the community, where the hamlet comes together around its flavours and traditions. A simple and authentic occasion to discover the less touristy and more genuine side of Umbria.
