Sagre e Feste Paesane: In Italy, a sagra (plural: sagre) is a local festival, very often involving food, and frequently historical pageants and religious holidays. A sagra is often dedicated to some specific local food, and the name of the sagra includes that food; for example: Sagra del Cinghiale (Wild boar festival). Among the most common sagre are those celebrating olive oil, wine, pasta and pastry of various kinds, chestnuts, and cheese.
