Satriano di Lucania (PZ) - On October 6, 2024, the Lucanian village will host the second edition of Chiena, the festival dedicated to Satrianese Pizza Chiena, the queen of the local gastronomic tradition. After the great success of last year, the event returns with a program even richer in activities, workshops, and tasting moments, to celebrate pizza chiena and other typical specialties of the region.

The day will begin at 10:00 with the presentation conference of the product "Satrianese Pizza Chiena". During the meeting, the Recognition of the Communal Denomination of Origin (De.Co.) for this product, a symbol of the local culinary culture, will be officially announced. The conference will be an opportunity to discuss the value of pizza chiena as a distinctive element of Satriano's gastronomy and its potential to promote the territory.

Traditionally prepared during the Easter period, Satriano's Pizza Chiena is now in demand all year round thanks to its unmistakable taste, which sets it apart from other similar products in Southern Italy. Characterized by a golden and crunchy exterior, it hides a soft and tasty filling, prepared with a few simple ingredients: wheat flour, water and crisc' (sourdough), eggs, pecorino and cow's milk cheese, Satrianese salami, and parsley.

At 11:00 there will be "Hands in dough," an intergenerational workshop on Pizza Chiena and Satrianese Taralli by the association Lueteb, where everyone can test their culinary skills. An educational and fun moment, ideal for adults and children.
At 13:00 the gastronomic stands will open, offering a wide range of typical local dishes from pasta to dessert, with a vegetarian alternative alongside pizza chiena.

In the afternoon, at 17:00, the Pizza Chiena Show will be an exciting cooking competition in which participants will compete in the preparation of pizza chiena, under the watchful eye of a technical jury.

The festival will be animated throughout the day with live music. Taking the stage will be Vito Laurino, Salvatore Pace Band, and the beloved singer Gigione, ready to dance and entertain the audience.

At the same time, it will be possible to participate in guided tours of the Open-Air Museum of murals, with the availability of sign language interpretation. A wonderful opportunity to discover the artistic heritage of the village and learn more about its history.

We look forward to seeing you on October 6 in Satriano di Lucania to experience a day full of taste, tradition, and conviviality!
