Pork knuckle cooked in a wood-fired oven, a specialty of Parrano
The Sagra dello Stinco Cotto nel Forno a Legna (Festival of Pork Knuckle Cooked in a Wood-Fired Oven) is one of the most popular gastronomic festivals of the summer in Parrano, a village in the province of Terni nestled in the woods and gorges of the Orvieto area, in Umbria. The absolute star is the pork knuckle, strictly cooked in a wood-fired oven as local tradition dictates, served tender and flavorful.
The event takes place in the Parco Pubblico Vittorio Valletta and, in addition to the signature dish, offers a rich menu of typical Umbrian dishes. The evenings combine good food with entertainment, in a family-friendly and convivial atmosphere that attracts visitors from the nearby towns of the Orvieto area.
Organized by the Polisportiva Parrano Calcio (Parrano Football Sports Club), the festival is also a moment of gathering for the entire Parrano community. Visiting it means experiencing the authentic atmosphere of Umbrian village festivals and discovering a little-known corner of the province of Terni, amidst nature, good food, and hospitality.

Described as one of the most delicious events of the summer, the festival centers on the pork knuckle, strictly cooked in a wood-fired oven, as tradition dictates.
