Percent Map travel guild (2026-07-30): Savoring Summer Nights in Italy's Rustic Pantries

Every summer, I find myself drawn to Italian village food festivals, or sagre, where locals transform their kitchens into bustling street feasts. Picture a woman’s hand delicately shaping dough balls that turn into crispy fritters in seconds — it’s a charming spectacle that captures the essence of these gatherings. If you’re planning your July travels, make sure to catch one of these lively sagre; with daytime temperatures around 18°C and sunny skies, they're perfect for outdoor dining under the stars.
