Edition 2025 — Summer Festival Varco Sabino

On Sunday, August 17, 2025, Varco Sabino renewed its Ferragosto tradition with fried pizza tastings and the Salli e Magna food trail, as part of the Summer Festival organized by the Pro Loco. In the streets of the historic center, visitors savored pizza rentorta, lentils, pecorino, pizzicotti, and the traditional sheep chop, a symbol of Sabina pastoral cuisine.

The 2025 edition of the Varco Sabino Summer Festival took place on Sunday, August 17, 2025, confirming the formula inaugurated the previous year: a unique itinerary between fried pizza tastings and the "Salli e Magna" food trail, which accompanies the historic Sheep Chop Festival (which reached its 40th edition in 2024). In the historic center of the small village in the Province of Rieti, home to the Monti Navegna e Cervia Nature Reserve, the Pro Loco served traditional Sabina dishes — pizza rentorta, lentils, cheese, pizzicotti, sausage, and grilled sheep chop — during an evening enlivened by music and conviviality, in the heart of the Ferragosto week.
