Ci spiace, ma questo articolo è disponibile soltanto in English.
Nel 2003 Rebecca ha iniziato a scrivere dei saggi per il sito Slow Travel, raccontando la sua esperienza di ragazza di città che dagli Stati Uiniti si è trasferita nella campagna umbra.
Le sue riflessioni sono riprodotte qui.
Umbria Slow:
Do you know of the fava bean festival in Monterubiaglio? I read in de Blasi’s book that it is every Sunday beginning in March. I am wondering the dates, and if you think it is worth an excursion.
Thank you,
Mallonee
Hi Mallonee, Well, I’ve asked everyone I know from that area and really did a good online search…and no joy. I don’t know what to tell you…no one seems to know what I’m talking about. It may just no long be held (not sure when the book was published). Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful, Rebecca
Can you tell me when the asparagus festival in Eggi will be this year? I am looking for any events in southern Umbria on April 28th.
Thanks,
Karin
Hi Karin,
The official dates aren’t out yet, but I called a friend in the know who told me he’s pretty sure it goes from 28 April to 8 May in 2011.
That would be awesome, I think it sounds like fun. Any suggestions on where I can keep checking to see if those are indeed the dates?
thanks
Hi Karin,
The official website is http://www.amicidieggi.it…but they don’t have 2011 info up yet!
For a couple more spring festival suggestions in Umbria, take a look at my friend Alessandra’s recent blog post: http://discoveringumbria.blogspot.com/2011/03/sognando-la-primavera-best-spring.html
Hi Rebecca,
I found out that the Eggi Asparagus festival will start on April 28, the day we are planning to tour the area!! Is there anyway to find out the times of the events for that day? I thought maybe you could help me. Thanks again,
Karin
Hi Karin, I took a look around the web, but no info is up yet. I suggest trying back around mid-month. Best, Rebecca
