Description of the Festival

The enogastronomic and folkloristic event was founded in 2001 to rediscover, in traditional recipes, this little-known mushroom and to ensure that both the culture of eating and drinking well and the customs related to pastoralism, transhumance and old crafts are not lost. , evocatively evoke. In each edition a part of the conference and side events are the setting for the undisputed protagonist of the event, the prized Prugnolo mushroom, which can be tasted, expertly cooked, in the stands of the historical center of the country, where there are also numerous food and wine crafts. The ultimate aim of the festival is to promote our territory and its typical products, as well as the culture of healthy eating. Obviously this entails considerable organizational efforts which, up to now, have always been largely repaid by the success of the event. The festival takes place along the streets of the historic center of Pieve.
