Handmade pasta in honor of the Madonna del Carmelo
The Sagra dei Cavatelli is one of the historic events of the summer in Larino, in the province of Campobasso. Celebrated in honor of the Madonna del Carmelo, the festival combines religious devotion and gastronomic tradition in the heart of the historic center, in Piazza Duomo.
The absolute star is the typical Molise pasta: the cavatelli are handmade by the women of the community, who work on their preparation in the months leading up to the festival. On the evening of the festival, the pasta is served to visitors in a convivial atmosphere that recalls the authentic peasant culture of Basso Molise.
Organized by the Festival Committee of the Parish of San Pardo, the Sagra dei Cavatelli is part of the Larino Summer calendar and represents a moment of aggregation for the entire city of Larino, between faith, flavors, and tradition.
In 2026, the Sagra dei Cavatelli will once again liven up Piazza Duomo in Larino on a July evening dedicated to the Madonna del Carmelo. As tradition dictates, the women of the community will hand-make the famous cavatelli, served to visitors starting in the evening. The event is organized by the Festival Committee of the Parish of San Pardo as part of the Larino Summer.
The exact date for the 2026 edition has not yet been announced. The usual format includes: an evening in Piazza Duomo starting from 8:00 PM, with the distribution of handmade cavatelli and a devotional moment in honor of the Madonna del Carmelo. The program will be communicated by the Festival Committee of the Parish of San Pardo.
The festival takes place in Piazza Duomo, in the historic center of Larino (CB), reachable from the A14 highway (Termoli exit) and the SS87.
In July, in honor of the Madonna del Carmelo; evening starting from 8:00 PM.
Free entry; tasting of cavatelli for a fee.
