46th St Martin's Festival

46th Festival of St Martin | And the Bringoli
 
Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November – Galleria Magi, Anghiari
 
Every year in Anghiari, tradition is celebrated with the Festa dei Bringoli and San Martino festival, amidst the scents of autumn, new wine and the cheerfulness of the Pro Loco volunteers! There’ll certainly be plenty of tastings of brustichino, sausages, chestnuts and new wine
 

WHAT ARE BRINGOLI?

Don’t call them pici… because in Anghiari they have a history all of their own!
 
Bringoli are a long pasta made solely from water, flour and no eggs! A humble recipe from Anghiari’s peasant tradition with a rich, full-bodied flavour
 

THE ‘SUGO FINTO’

The signature sauce for bringoli is the famous ‘sugo finto’, which originated when meat was a luxury. A ‘humble’ sauce but full of flavour, made with tomatoes, herbs and plenty of patience
 

THE DIFFERENCE FROM PICI

They look like Sienese pici, but anyone who knows them well realises: bringoli are more rustic, heartier and more… Anghiari-style! Every housewife has her own touch, and every bringolo is unique
