Festival of Festivals

Lo scorso fine settimana, complice la bellissima giornata e l'invito di un'amica, abbiamo deciso di visitare SANT'ANGELO DEI LOMBARDI, paese tristamente noto per essere stato l'epicentro del terremoto che colpì l'Irpiania nel 1980.
Ma il 13 e 14 novembre si è svolta a Sant'Angelo la Sagra delle Sagre, evento che non conoscevamo. “La Sagra delle Sagre 2010”, voluta, promossa ed organizzata dall’Associazione Turistica Pro Loco “Alta Irpinia - Sant’Angelo dei Lombardi”, si è svolta sabato 13 e domenica 14 novembre p.v.con l’obiettivo di valorizzare e promuovere i prodotti tipici locali, l’enogastronomia, l’artigianato artistic and rural, cultural traditions and popular Alta Irpinia and tourism in the hinterland. "The Festival of Festivals", which has now reached success at the X edition, held on time in the charming old town of Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi, the important event has now become one of the most important tourist events of the autumn season and inland Campania neighboring regions, in fact this show for the season of festivals, for it is the last event in the industry.
These are some of the photos we took.
