About Sagra del Fiore di Zucca
A festival dedicated to zucchini flowers
In the hamlet of Nera Montoro, a few kilometers from Narni, in the province of Terni, the Sagra del Fiore di Zucca is one of the most anticipated food and wine events of the Umbrian summer. The event celebrates a simple and precious ingredient of seasonal cuisine — the zucchini flower — offered in many tasty preparations at the festival stalls.
Ancient grains and peasant tradition
The festival's cuisine highlights local products: dishes are also prepared with ancient grain flours, reviving a peasant tradition that tells the agricultural identity of the Nera valley. Good food is accompanied every evening by live music, in a festive atmosphere that attracts families and visitors from nearby villages.
Where and when
The event takes place at the Municipal Pool of Nera Montoro, a spacious and welcoming venue capable of hosting the food stalls and musical evenings. It's an opportunity to discover a lesser-known corner of southern Umbria, experiencing the authentic conviviality of a village festival.
