A festival to taste the famous Casatiello Neapolitan and other specialties of the Atellan village of Sant'Arpino (CE). From 6 to 8 June 2014
Who said that the Casatiello do you prepare only during Easter? TO Sant'Arpino, in the province of Caserta, the tasty Neapolitan country stuffed with cured meats, cicoli, pepper, lard, eggs and cold cuts, is the protagonist of a festival that has been held for twenty-two years and will be repeated from 6 to 8 June 2014.
La Festival of the Casatiello was organized for the first time in the late eighties by the Pro Loco Sant'Arpino to celebrate the flavors of the peasant tradition and to pay homage to an ancient custom according to which the Atellans, to celebrate spring and Easter, gathered in front of the monasterial complex of San Francesco di Paola, then in front of the Romitorio di San Canione, to consume the Casatiello, a rustic but genuine rustic, in a party atmosphere characterized by folk songs, music and dances.
In the past editions of the Festival of the Casatiello of Sant'Arpino were made a Casatiello from Guinness Book of Records, made with about four hundred eggs, with a diameter of over three meters and weighing approx four quintals, and a competition was also organized among the housewives of the town to award the best Casatiello of the year.
Also for this edition that celebrates the rustic mega-donut filled with many delicious ingredients, there are many institutional events, organized to entertain the visitors of the festival, and also many tastings that will allow you to taste some dishes of traditional local cuisine at the food and wine stands set up for the occasion, in an atmosphere that will evoke enchanting atmospheres of other times.
