Food festivals in Italy?

Question

I will be staying near Bologna for a couple of weeks for work (July 14 - 30). A friend recommended looking into local food or music festivals. How can I found out if any are going on and where they are?

Answer 1

There's a website for the sagre in Emilia Romagna: http://www.sagreedintorni.it/def_sagreme...

There's something going on almost every day during the month. The site is in Italian, but you can use the translator on google to help if you don't recognize something.

The snail festival in Casumaro and the pear festival in  Renazzo are always good.
