The 'agnello scottadito' and the flavors of Umbria in Villanova di Marsciano
In the hamlet of Villanova, in Marsciano (province of Perugia), the Sagra dell'Agnello e dei Prodotti Tipici Umbri will reach its 36th edition in 2026. It is one of the longest-running and most beloved festivals in the Marsciano area, an event that the Pro Loco of Villanova meticulously organizes to promote local gastronomy.
The specialty is, of course, the exquisite expertly cooked lamb, served according to traditional Umbrian peasant recipes. The menu is complemented by typical local products and, to beat the summer heat, by fresh fruit salads that have become a classic of the festival.
Every evening, the festival offers live music and entertainment that liven up the hamlet until late at night. The Villanova festival is an opportunity to gather around the table, rediscovering the authentic flavors of Umbria in a familiar and welcoming setting, far from the major tourist circuits.
The 2026 edition, the thirty-sixth, will be held from July 3rd to 12th in the hamlet of Villanova in Marsciano. The food stalls will offer 'agnello scottadito' and typical Umbrian products every evening, while live music will animate the village. The detailed program of the evenings will be published by the Pro Loco of Villanova closer to the event.
The detailed musical program for the 2026 edition will be announced by the Pro Loco of Villanova in the weeks preceding the festival. As per tradition, the food stalls open in the evening with expertly cooked lamb, typical Umbrian products, and fruit salads, followed each night by live music.
