The last week of August in the San Leucio district in Veroli, the blackberries are celebrated with the Sagra della Moricola.

The event includes a cooking competition on how to use this fruit, the queen of the summer.

Blackberries are harvested and used for the preparation of desserts and other dishes that are then presented to a jury that selects the winner.

The awards are local food and wine products.

In the days of the festival in the medieval district of San Leucio popular games are organized and ends with a fireworks display called 'La Rocca in flames'.
