Edition 2025 — Scroppella Festival

In 2025, the Scroppella Festival was held on its traditional date of August 5th in Castelvetere in Val Fortore. It was the edition preceding the regional recognition: a few months later, in March 2026, the Campania Region would register the Castelvetere scroppella as a Traditional Agri-food Product, rewarding years of work by the Pro Loco and the village volunteers.

The 2025 edition of the Scroppella Festival took place on August 5th in Castelvetere in Val Fortore, in the Province of Benevento, confirming the date that the Pro Loco has maintained for several years. The festival featured the distribution of the sweet fritter traditionally prepared for Shrove Thursday, bringing it into the heart of summer when the Sannio village repopulates.

For this edition, no detailed program of times and appointments was released, and no public documentation remains: local sources merely confirm the annual recurrence of the festival and its roots in the Castelvetere community. The year 2025 was, however, decisive behind the scenes: it was during that period that the documentation work for the product was consolidated, which later led to the application accepted by the Campania Region in March 2026 with the inclusion of the scroppella in the PAT list.
