XXXIII Porcini Mushrooms Festival

The “Porcini Mushrooms Festival” (Sagra del Fungo Porcino) takes place every year the weekend after the T-bone Steak Festival in the Parterre public gardens of Cortona. This food festival is not to be missed, since you can taste delicious dishes with mushrooms found in the mountains around Cortona. The local cuisine is characterized by lots of recipes for tasty mushroom starters, first courses, main courses and side dishes, which must absolutely go with excellent local wines.
