Where: Pari, Civitella Paganico
When: 27-29 September
How much: free
Maremma’s oldest festival is all about the blessedly humble sausage.
I love visiting small towns like Pari, especially during festivals, because they’re perfect snapshots of the Maremma of old. Pari’s beautiful streets haven’t changed in centuries and the locals, Parigiani, are ridiculously friendly and generous.
They’re the ones who will be preparing the mountains of food for this festival, including grilled pork, goat and wild boar, fried polenta, fresh porcini mushroom soup and plenty of great wine.
On Sunday, you can taste Pari’s legendary sweets at the fiera del dolce. Keep an eye out for “ciaccino unto” , which is cooked in a wood fire oven, believe it or not.
For more information, visit the tourist information centre in Grosseto, It’s on Corso Roma.
