One of Salento's most beloved food festivals, now in its 33rd edition and officially recognized as an 'evento di qualità' with a following that reaches well beyond Italy. 'Municeddha' means 'little nun' in Salento dialect — the white foam these land snails produce to seal their shells was said to resemble a nun's white bonnet. Served three traditional ways: roasted, in tomato sauce, and 'soffritta alla cannolese,' the most beloved local preparation, all following recipes passed down through generations of farming families.
