Sagra dei Capù – Terzano

Capù: the dish that celebrates in Terzano

Terzano is a small hamlet in the Municipality of Angolo Terme, in Valle Camonica, Province of Brescia. Here, for over thirty years, the preparation of capù has been celebrated with a dedicated festival that mobilizes the entire village: the capù are rolls made from chard leaves, filled with stale bread and grated cheese, a bit of meat, and a "secret" mixture of spices. It's a dish from the poor mountain cuisine, born from the desire not to waste anything, which over the years has become a symbol of Terzano's identity.

An entire community at the stoves

The most characteristic aspect of the festival is precisely the collective participation: young and old work side-by-side to produce thousands of rolls, in an organization that is itself part of the celebration. The evenings offer:

• tasting of capù prepared according to the traditional recipe
• cocktail bar and refreshment stands
• live or piped music starting in the evening
• the intimate atmosphere of a hamlet reachable only on foot or by motorbike

An event of the Camun summer

For the Municipality of Angolo Terme and for the entire upper Valle Camonica, the Sagra dei Capù of Terzano is one of the most beloved gastronomic events of the summer. Organized by the Pro Loco (local tourist board) and the local community, it celebrates a recipe that tells the agricultural history of the valley, directly in the place where it was born and is passed down.
