ANNUAL EVENTS

BRINGOLI FEAST OF SAINT. MARTIN
November 11th/12th

Traditional food fair where you can eat balked bread, sausages, nuts and early wine. The real attraction tohugh is the "Bringoli", a kind of pasta which is made using water and flower alone. These noodles like pasta are still made by hand by town's housewives and are usually served with a mushroom or meat sauce.
Every year this singular event is visited by lots of tourists and citizens who literally take on Anghiari's historical downtown until late night.
A nice "folks fair" which, once a year, pays tribute to the Galleria Girolamo Magi that rediscovers its role as an urban meeting point for which had been built, over 100 years ago, by Ingenee Tuti. For additional information call: 0575/ 787023 - 749279 - 789892
