Sagra della Cucciola

The 51st Sagra della Cucciola in Montefortino was held from August 29 to 31, 2025, in the historic center of the village in the Fermo area, at the foot of the Sibillini Mountains. Alongside the unmissable 'cucciola' (snail) dishes, the stands offered grilled meats, 'pasta alla norcina', Ascolana olives, and draft beer.

The evening program alternated culture and entertainment: Friday the 29th featured an opening aperitif and a Briscola card tournament; Saturday the 30th included exhibitions on Fortunato Duranti and nature, a treasure hunt for children, carriage rides, a concert by Pop Gun, and a night excursion in the Sibillini Mountains; Sunday the 31st offered e-bike excursions, markets with local products, a guided tour of the village, and a grand musical finale with Forever 90. An edition that confirmed the festival as one of the most beloved gastronomic events in the Marche hinterland.
