One thing that caught my eye at this little festival was the artwork / school work of the children that was on display. The children of Castegnero have obviously spent some time studying about the cherry trees and other local crops and products. Nice, don't you think?
Eat in Castegnero cause the food is most true!!(That's a pretty literal translation, but I think it's written in this way in an attempt to rhyme, & it means that the food is authentic . . . real.)

And what's a cherry festival without cherries . . . lots and lots of cherries?
Though the sagra is over, folks are still selling kilos of cherries all over the little town. Just head to Castegnero and look for signs like "Ciliege in Vendita." Yesterday we found cherries the size of small plums as well as cherry jam.
Oh, and I've learned that sagras are also known for grilled meats, like this pork rib that she is gnawing on. I had no idea she would eat this. Good Eats.The neighboring town on the other side of us, Costozza, is hosting its Festa di Primavera e Fiesta Mexicana -- this weekend and next. Mexicana? Can't wait to see what that might be about. . . . .
