Sagras are food festivals held throughout the year, usually in small country towns. Local people join together to cook dishes that feature a star ingredient (artichokes, chestnuts, wild boar, truffles, etc) in a casual and lively setting. Lists of events are available at www.festivalsinitaly.com.

Typical Umbrian primi: minestra di farro, a vegetable soup; tagliatelle con funghi porcini, thick noodles with wild mushrooms; pici, a fat, short spaghetti usually served with tomato sauce; baggiana, a soup of fava beans and tomatoes.

Il secondo is the main dish of meat or fish, usually meat in Tuscany and Umbria, and often beefsteak, pork, rabbit or game birds in both regions. Some typical dishes of both regions are porchetta, roast suckling pig, often sold from stalls at markets or on roadsides; cinghiale, wild boar, usually roasted or made into sausages called salciccia; fritto misto, a mixed grill including lamb chops and sweetbreads, among other meats; anatra, duck; and girarrosto, a spit of roast game birds.
