SalusErbe

SalusErbe, natural wellness in the heart of Valconca

During the greenest weekend of the Romagna spring, the village of Saludecio, in the province of Rimini, hosts SalusErbe, one of Emilia-Romagna's longest-running and most beloved events dedicated to medicinal herbs and natural wellness. Now in its 39th edition in 2026, the fair transforms the entire medieval historic centre into a sensory journey of aromas, flavours, and healing properties, blending tradition, culture, and performing arts.

A village that changes its face

For the occasion, the streets and squares of Saludecio are renamed with evocative names: the Via delle Erbe e della Salute and the Piazza dei Sapori host the stalls of a large spring market. Here you'll find herbalists, nursery gardeners, organic and natural food producers, alternative medicine experts, green cosmetics artisans, and gardening and environmental sustainability enthusiasts. It's an opportunity to discover aromatic plants, spices, and traditional remedies, guided by experts and cooks who show how to use herbs in the kitchen.

Music, dances, and shows

SalusErbe is not just a market: the village comes alive with street performances, live music, and dances ranging from flamenco to Balkan sounds, from Southern Italian tarantellas to Celtic music, not forgetting the Romagna tradition. Between stalls, there are workshops for children, nature walks, themed conferences, book presentations, and moments dedicated to yoga and wellness disciplines.

Flavours of nature

Taste is the star: the refreshment points offer themed menus dedicated to the flavours of nature, where medicinal herbs become ingredients in dishes and drinks. A gastronomic offering that celebrates the link between territory, health, and the culinary tradition of the Valconca.

A territorial event

Organized by the Municipality of Saludecio with the support of the local area, SalusErbe has been a spring reference point for the Rimini hinterland for almost forty years, attracting visitors from all over Romagna and the neighbouring Marche region. Admission is free, and the historic centre of Saludecio—one of the best-preserved historic centres in the Valconca—provides the ideal setting for a day dedicated to greenery and wellness.
