Braciola pietrafusana — thin beef rolled around mint and garlic, simmered for hours in tomato sugo until it falls apart at the fork — is the whole reason to come to Montecorvino Rovella in August. An unfussy, deeply local sagra, the kind where the recipe hasn't changed in living memory and nobody wants it to.
