About Sagra della Crescia

In the hamlet of Isola, in Nocera Umbra (PG), the Sagra della Crescia celebrates one of the most iconic products of the border cuisine between Umbria and Marche: the crescia, the typical flattened bread of the Apennines. For a few days in June, the sports facilities of the hamlet come alive with food stalls, traditional cuisine, and music, thanks to the efforts of the Pro Loco Isola Fossara. A genuine village festival, far from mass tourism.

The Sagra della Crescia of Isola

In the hamlet of Isola, in the municipality of Nocera Umbra (province of Perugia), the Sagra della Crescia is held annually, dedicated to one of the most typical products of the gastronomic tradition of the border between Umbria and Marche.

The crescia, bread of the border

The crescia is a flattened bread, similar to a thick focaccia or piadina, common in the Umbrian-Marche Apennines and traditionally cooked over embers or in a wood-fired oven. The festival offers it in all its variations, accompanied by cured meats, cheeses, and local culinary specialties.

A community celebration

For a few days, the sports facilities of the hamlet transform into a large convivial space with food stalls and entertainment and music. The event is organized by the Pro Loco Isola Fossara, which animates numerous events in the Nocera area, and represents an authentic opportunity to discover the genuine flavours of Umbria.
