“Sagra” is something that could be translated in English as festival or fair, usually linked to some local food in a small town or village, with music and dance usually going along with the food.

“Totano fritto” (the accent is on the first “o”) is a deep-fried sliced flying squid, something like the more common fried “calamari”.

“Cinghiale” is our wild boar. There are many more “sagre” around Tuscany, typically announced with simple and garish posters, and most of these places are not far from Livorno.

Estate...tempo di sagre!
Mi piace la composizione della prima, bici e relativa ombra creano danno un tono molto street alla foto.
Looks inviting to me. Love the first picture as well and the bike makes it even look a bit like summer poetry. Please have a great Friday.

My kind of feast!
Will there be truffles?
Oh my. I can see myself easily gaining several kilos a month if there are festivals every month.
It is fair/festival time here in most of the US.
In fact the Stanwood Fair is the 6/7/8th of August. No wild boars but farm kids with their pigs and hogs they raised for the fair. MB
You're making me hungry!
The same as Ciel - should have had breakfast before visited your blog today:)
Happy Friday to you!
Hoho, highly unkosher eatings for me! But the sagre itself sounds fun to see.
che bella idea fotografarli, sono belli.
ciao simona
Squid with wings, now that is something you should get a picture of.
It all sounds good!
@ Dina - Try some “maccheroni”!
@ B SQUARED - Please follow the link...
Looks like you'll have a lot of choices on what to do this weekend!
Very cool posters! Great idea for posting, VP.
Macaroni? OK, fine with me.
Of course I love food fairs, and I'm with Hilda... I'd have to do a lot of dancing to keep the kilos off my thighs... but eat I would and dance I would!
