Almost half a century, and it does not show the "Festival of Pici Celle" held as usual on the last Sunday of May in Celle sul Rigo, a small town bordering on Lazio and Umbria, which jealously guards its traditions food. All the streets from Saturday evening when doing the lion's share is above all the young fans of dance music, go for Sunday when the party becomes generally the responsibility of the families who love to meet and chat with friends. But what makes the difference between the many festivals that fill the Italian Sundays during the summer season is rustic and naive spirit that animates the event in a country that has preserved the simplicity of the past and that has made the commitment to the authentic dishes his gospel. At the beginning back in 1969 when the leaders of the "Company Filarmornica of Celle sul Rigo" was planned to link its name to a party that would enhance the "pici", typical dish of the country, the Festival took place in the Pici Sunday. Around eleven o'clock the Banda opened the festival by playing in the square and ended the night around midnight with people dancing on the pavement. And then "pici" for lunch and dinner, grilled meats, "ciaccette", sweets, washed down with good wine and raffle for the lucky ones. Over the years little has changed. The original name "Festival of Pici" has been added to the specification "Celle" because too many countries claiming to be "pici" those who are just pale imitations. It was also anticipated the beginning of the feast on Saturday evening, a fateful day in which everyone is accustomed to going out to eat, meeting young people with music that suits them. But for the rest, although the increased presence of people, the party has tried to maintain the characteristics of simplicity and genuineness of the past. The "pici" are always the same, made by hand by women in the country, with meat sauce and garlic sauces are prepared with the same meticulous care of our grandmothers, the wines are generous and genuine from the Sienese countryside. Besides the concert of Banda's dance music for young and old.Almost half a century, and it does not show the "Festival of Pici Celle" held as usual on the last Sunday of May in Celle sul Rigo, a small town bordering on Lazio and Umbria, which jealously guards its traditions food.
