Palombara Sabina. Festival of Ciammellocco

Palombara Sabina. Festival of Ciammellocco

The festival of Ciammellocco is celebrated with a specific party in Cretone, a village of Palombara Sabina, with three days of celebration.

The 'ciammellocco' is a traditional donut of this area made with simple ingredients like eggs, flour, anise, lemon and olive oil but amalgamated in a special and particularly tasty way. The donut is prepared by the locals and served still hot.

The festival is an opportunity to still enjoy the cool evenings at the end of summer to eat outdoors in the alleys with the pleasure of tasting traditional products while listening to live music.

Alongside the food and wine experience of the products of Palombara Sabina, bicycle enthusiasts can challenge us in a 35 km race, “Tour of Ciammellocco”. The competition starts from the spa and reaches the center of the village.
