22nd edition of a festival in Piazza San Nicola pairing golden fried frog with the local Fagiolo Regina bean, a historic Roman-cuisine legume still grown by traditional methods. Agosta's own residents were historically nicknamed 'i ranocchiari' — the frog-people — for their particular skill preparing the dish, passed down through generations.
