Edition 2025 — Sagra te lu Furese

In 2025, the event took place on August 6 as the Sagra te lu Furese e te la Paparina, combining two symbols of the Salento peasant table: furese, the local fresh sausage, and paparina, the young poppy plant. At Parco Montegrappa in Tuglie, the Pro Loco offered gastronomic tastings, craft markets, and live music with pizzica and Salento folk groups, for an evening of celebration open to visitors of all ages.

Sagra te lu Furese e te la Paparina 2025

The 2025 edition was held on August 6 at Parco Montegrappa in Tuglie, Salento, with the combined formula te lu furese e te la paparina. The stars of the evening were two ingredients of Salento's cucina povera: lu furese, fresh sausage stuffed according to local tradition, and la paparina, cooked as a side dish with black olives and chili pepper.

The Pro Loco of Tuglie stands offered tastings of peasant cuisine, roasted and fried peppers, orecchiette, and meatballs in sauce, all prepared on the spot by local cooks. The festival was enlivened by live music with pizzica and Salento folk groups, craft markets, and exhibitions dedicated to folk traditions, in a festive atmosphere that involved families and visitors on the Montegrappa hill.
