Sagra te li piatti te na fiata: the gastronomic memory of Salento in Castri

The rediscovery of culinary roots

The Sagra te li piatti te na fiata, scheduled from August 21st to 23rd in Castri di Lecce, serves as a privileged vantage point into the gastronomic culture of Salento. The event aims to recover the gestures and flavors linked to the peasant life of the past, rescuing from oblivion the recipes that have defined the food identity of this territory for generations. The curatorial approach to the festival prioritizes the short supply chain and the use of local raw materials, ensuring a truthful narration of the preparation processes that characterized the domestic kitchens of yesteryear.

A village between history and conviviality

The village of Castri di Lecce, with its urban fabric of marked Salento character, offers the ideal setting for this reenactment. The Lecce stone architecture and the layout of the alleys create an intimate environment where conviviality plays a central role.

Experience and identity of the territory

The event distinguishes itself by the desire not to offer a simple tasting, but a true anthropological journey through the smells and flavors that have marked the rural history of the Lecce province. Each dish served is the result of rigorous execution protocols, aimed at preserving the original balance of the ingredients. Participation in the festival represents an opportunity to understand directly how the identity of Salento is deeply intertwined with the seasonality of the harvest and the skillful domestic transformation of agricultural products.
