Sagra della Fojata e dell'Attorta

The Flavours of Sellano's Tradition

The Sagra della Fojata e dell'Attorta is the festival that every summer brings the community of Sellano, a village in the Valnerina valley in the province of Perugia, together around the two dishes that tell its gastronomic tradition. Organized by the Pro Loco of Sellano, it takes place in the Civil Protection village in Villamagina, over five evenings of celebration.

Fojata and Attorta, the Symbolic Dishes

The stars of the festival are two local specialties. The fojata is a savory pie filled with vegetables, cheese, and eggs, a rustic dish of peasant cuisine. The attorta, on the other hand, is a spiral cake, filled with dried fruit, amaretti biscuits, cocoa, and cinnamon, typical of local celebrations. Alongside these dishes, the food stalls offer the best of Umbrian cuisine.

Five Evenings of Music and Celebration

Each evening, the festival alternates gastronomy and music: the food stalls open at 7:00 PM, followed by concerts by orchestras at 9:00 PM and DJ sets at 11:00 PM, with themed evenings that liven up the festival village until late at night. An event that combines culinary tradition, dancing, and socializing, in the heart of a Valnerina summer.
