Sagra delle Fregnacce

Fregnacce, the taste of Alto Volturno

In Rocchetta a Volturno, a village in Alto Volturno in the province of Isernia, the Sagra delle Fregnacce celebrates one of the most genuine dishes of Molisan tradition: fregnacce, a simple and flavorful homemade fresh pasta, a symbol of the peasant cuisine of these lands. The festival takes place in Piazza San Domenico, the heart of the village, where food stalls offer the typical dish accompanied by local products.

A festival with national reach

Organized by the Associazione Le Sorgenti, the event has taken on a meaning that goes beyond the village in recent years: it is indeed the scene of a striking twinning with the association "Kalipè al Monviso 3841", which ideally unites the sources of the Volturno River with those of the Po River. A symbolic link between two mountain territories and two great Italian rivers, sealed during the festival.

Taste and music

Between one portion of fregnacce and another, the evening is enlivened by music and the convivial atmosphere that characterizes Molisan festivals, capable of bringing together residents, returning emigrants, and visitors in an authentic celebration at the foot of the Mainarde mountains.
