Sagra · October 15, 2026 – October 18, 2026 · Martano (Puglia)
In Martano, a charming town in Salento, we celebrate the ancient tradition of "volia cazzata" – hand-crushed olives seasoned with wild fennel, chili pepper, and garlic. This family-friendly festival offers a warm atmosphere with food stalls serving local delicacies like friselle, pittule, and regional cheeses. Enjoy traditional folk music, dances, and live performances that truly capture the authentic spirit of Salento.
Indulge in the authentic flavors of Puglia with our menu featuring homemade bread, local wine, and a selection of artisanal cheeses and cured meats. Don't miss the star of the show, "volia cazzata" (crushed Puglian olives), alongside delicious street food like crispy friselle and savory pittule.
