The Trevi Sagra del Sedano – Celery Festival

The annual Trevi Sagra del Sedano Nero is always great fun.  Years ago, with the celery alone not drawing large enough crowds, it was decided to add roast sausage to the Sagra…and sure enough…the crowds came.  From the outside parking areas the delicious aroma of the roasting sausages permeates the air and leads the crowds to the main square.

In Italian cooking, along with a carrot and an onion, celery is part of “gli odori”.  It is the base of numerous dishes.  At the green grocer’s, free of charge, a carrot, celery stalk and small onion are always added to your bag – one of those long-lived cherished traditions.
