A festival spanning three weekends in a village of just 300 residents that has erected its own monument to salamina da sugo — designed and built by local volunteers — at the town entrance, with road signs identifying it as the home of the dish. Served hot with mashed potato at the Palasalamina, alongside raw carpaccio and pasta dishes made with the same salamina.
