Festa Artusiana

Forlimpopoli · Emilia-Romagna, Italy · Jun 27 – Jul 5 ✅ Verified 2026

Thirty years running in 2026 — nine nights when Forlimpopoli, birthplace of Pellegrino Artusi (the man whose 1891 cookbook effectively invented modern Italian cuisine as a shared national identity), turns every restaurant menu into a tribute to his recipes. The town's archaeological museum, inside its 14th-century Rocca, stays open until 11pm throughout, and weekend evenings add 'Calici a Corte' wine walks along the fortress ramparts.
