Sagra du Funnateglie
The signature dish of Jelsi with eggs, sausage, and peppers
About Sagra du Funnateglie
The funnateglie, dish of the heart
The Sagra du Funnateglie is dedicated to one of the most representative dishes of the peasant tradition of Jelsi, in the province of Campobasso. The funnateglie is a rich and iconic stew, prepared with eggs, local sausage, peppers, and tomato, to be strictly enjoyed accompanied by the village's homemade bread.
A festival of flavours
For several days, the historic centre of Jelsi comes alive with food stalls, music, and moments of conviviality centred around this dish that "tells the gastronomic history of Jelsi like few others." The sagra (festival) is an opportunity to rediscover the authentic flavours of inland Molise and to experience the hospitality of a small village that proudly preserves its culinary traditions.
Tradition and community
Part of the rich calendar of Molise festivals, the Sagra du Funnateglie represents a moment of gathering for the community of Jelsi and an attraction for visitors seeking genuine local cuisine, far from the most beaten tourist paths.
