Lentil Festival and 7 Days in the Mountains in Annifo di Foligno

Tradition and biodiversity in the Plestini Plateaus

From August 10th to 15th, 2026, the village of Annifo, a mountain hamlet located in the municipality of Foligno along the border between Umbria and Marche, hosts the Lentil Festival. The event is part of the 7 Days in the Mountains program, a series of appointments designed to promote the natural heritage and agricultural peculiarities of this area located among the Plestini Plateaus.

The agricultural excellence of Colfiorito

The undisputed star of the event is the lentil, a renowned variety of the Colfiorito Plateau. Appreciated for its organoleptic properties and thin skin, the lentil is featured in various local traditional recipes inside the tavern set up for the occasion. Every evening, the menu offers dishes that tell the agricultural history of a geographical area characterized by a unique ecosystem, protected by the Colfiorito Regional Park.

Beyond the table: conviviality and territory

The program of the event is not limited to food and wine offerings. Integration with the 7 Days in the Mountains initiative allows visitors to enjoy the surrounding pristine environment through outdoor activities. The landscape of the plateaus, characterized by wide meadows and wetlands, offers ideal settings for excursions that allow visitors to understand the historical and artistic value of these areas, historically a crossroads of peoples and ancient Apennine routes.

The evening offer is completed by moments of traditional socializing, including card tournaments and entertainment with dance orchestras, elements that consolidate the role of Annifo as a gathering center for the local community and tourists looking for authentic atmospheres. The added value of the event lies in the combination of promoting a quality-branded product and safeguarding a lifestyle linked to the rhythms of the mountain environment.
