The patron saint, truffles, and the "torta sotto il foco" in Fabro
In the center of Fabro, in the province of Terni, the Saint Martin's Festival is the patronal event of November, celebrated concurrently with the renowned National Truffle Exhibition Market. While Fabro Scalo hosts the fair stands, the main town experiences the more traditional and community-focused dimension of the festival.
The most heartfelt moment is the "Torta sotto 'l foco" Fair, scheduled for Sunday: the typical focaccia baked under the ash and embers, a symbol of Umbrian peasant cuisine. Under the tent, a catering service is set up with local truffle dishes, accompanied by live music from the Merla Folk Band and the festive atmosphere of the patron saint's days.
The festival also involves the hamlet of Carnaiola, where a medieval re-enactment takes place, animated by the Historical Parade of Monteleone d'Orvieto. A weekend that combines devotion, gastronomy, and history, making Fabro and southern Umbria an authentic destination for autumn food and wine tourism.
The Saint Martin's Festival in Fabro is held annually on the second weekend of November, coinciding with the National Truffle Exhibition Market. For 2026, as per tradition, the event is expected to feature catering under a tent with truffle dishes, the Sunday "Torta sotto 'l foco" Fair with the Merla Folk Band, and the medieval re-enactment in Carnaiola.
