The truffle of Alto Molise takes centre stage in Sessano
Molise is one of the Italian regions richest in truffles, and Alto Molise in particular boasts ideal woods and soils for harvesting the precious tuber. Sessano del Molise, a municipality in the province of Isernia nestled in unspoiled nature, celebrates this vocation with its Truffle Festival, a summer event dedicated to one of the area's symbolic products.
The festival offers tastings of typical dishes enhanced by local truffles, in a village festival atmosphere that attracts visitors eager to discover the authentic flavours of the Molise hinterland. It's an opportunity to combine gastronomic discovery with the exploration of a quiet village and a majestic natural landscape, far from mass tourist circuits.
Sessano del Molise retains a slow pace and a strong connection to its rural traditions. The Truffle Festival is part of the village's summer event calendar, alongside religious festivals and other festivals dedicated to local products.
The 2026 edition of the Truffle Festival will be held in Sessano del Molise on July 25, following the traditional date indicated by regional sources. The day is dedicated to tasting dishes enhanced by local truffles, a prized product of Alto Molise.
Detailed program information is usually released in the weeks prior by the Municipality and local associations.
