Roccasecca dei Volsci. Festival and fair of Caciottella

The second Sunday of September, in Roccasecca dei Volsci there is the Festival of Caciottelle.

The fair is an event-market where the local shepherds put on sale their dairy products: caciottelle (soft cheese of sheep milk) called "marzoline" is cheese from typical local goat's milk.

The fair was officially established January 16, 1839 with a papal act of Cardinal Giustiniani to help local agriculture.

In fact, sales and business that were concluded on that day were exempt from duties and taxes.
