About Sagra della Trippa
San Donato and Longano Tripe
On August 7th, Longano, a municipality in the province of Isernia with just over 600 inhabitants, celebrates its patron saint San Donato. The day blends spirituality, folklore, and gastronomy, with the renowned Sagra della Trippa as the main event: the tripe is cooked «alla massaia longanese», according to ancient recipes passed down in the community.
A Day of Faith and Celebration
The festival opens with a solemn mass in honor of San Donato, followed in the afternoon (around 5 PM) by the procession of the saint's statue through the village streets, accompanied by faithful, confraternities, and musicians. In Piazza Veneziale, tastings of tripe and sausage sandwiches begin, while in the evening, the celebration continues with a musical performance and traditional dances.
Pro Loco Longano
The festival is organized by Pro Loco Longano and represents one of the most beloved summer events in the village of the Isernia province, attracting visitors and former residents of Longano in the name of an identity recipe and devotion to the patron saint.
