Every July, for nine nights, the town comes alive with an estimated 15,000 people who enjoy ‘Festa Artusiana’. This food festival pays homage to Pellegrino Artusi – an Italian businessman and writer born in this town who travelled the country and compiled Italy’s very first cookbook in 1891: “La scienza in cucina e l’arte di mangiar bene” (“Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well”).
