Sagra · September 5, 2026 – September 13, 2026 · Deruta (PG)
Experience the 13th edition of the Festa del Cacciatore in Deruta, held at Piazzale Togliatti. This festival goes beyond traditional game-based cuisine, offering captivating hunting art shows, falconry displays, an electronic shooting simulator, live music, and much more for an immersive Italian experience.
Indulge in a rich culinary journey featuring traditional game dishes. Savor wild boar chops, some infused with truffle, and hearty polenta with venison or wild boar. Delight in hunter's quails stuffed with 'barbozzo' (cured pork jowl) and pancetta, or try rich stews like wild boar, hare, or fallow deer. Pasta lovers will enjoy white and red tagliatelle with wild boar ragu, along with daily specials like gnocchi with pigeon or mallard sauce, and ravioli with venison or pigeon, often enhanced with cream and truffle. Don't miss the 'Torte al Testo' – traditional Umbrian flatbreads with various fillings like cured meats, sausage, or cooked greens, alongside mixed appetizers, prosciutto and melon, and classic sides like fried potatoes and cooked vegetables.
