About Sagra degli Arrosticini
Arrosticini in the square in Guardea
The Sagra degli Arrosticini is one of the gastronomic events of the summer in Guardea, a town in the Amerino region of the province of Terni. The absolute stars are the arrosticini, the sheep meat skewers that come from Abruzzese tradition and are cooked over a barbecue and served to a large crowd in Piazza Pietro Panfili.
Not just skewers
In addition to arrosticini, the menu offers first courses and other grilled specialties, in the true spirit of a village festival. The evenings, organized by A.S.D. Guardea, are accompanied by live music that transforms the square into a place of celebration and conviviality for families, young people, and visitors.
A young tradition
Although it is a relatively young sagra compared to the historic Sagra degli Gnocchi, the Sagra degli Arrosticini has carved out a prominent place in Guardea's summer calendar, helping to make the small Amerino village a delicious destination for those seeking the authentic Umbria of village festivals.
