Sagra degli Gnocchi

Lapedona · Marche, Italy · Late July ✅ Verified 2026

By local memory, the very first gnocchi festival ever held in the Marche region — founded specifically to stand out from neighbouring towns' sagre. Now the Pro Loco di Lapedona's flagship summer event, with handmade gnocchi from a local pastificio using traditional methods, served with ragù, duck sauce, truffle, or fresh tomato and basil, alongside a night mountain-bike ride through the medieval borgo.
