It is the first village festival of the calendar year, and it has been over thirty years since the entire Feltrino area has been waiting for the Feast of Saint Marcello in Umin to make a dive into faith, tradition, and ancient flavors, as also reported by the poster that promotes the event.
The festivities will start on Friday, January 12, and will continue until Tuesday, January 16, with a program centered primarily around gastronomy: the main dish will, as always, be tripe, prepared both in a parmesan sauce and in broth to satisfy enthusiasts of both versions.
The history of the festival began in the early 80s when the residents decided to raise funds to restore the now-decrepit little church.
Year after year, the event took off, attracting a growing number of people until the organizers – primarily the alpine group from Villabruna and the friends of the casel – decided it was time to equip the festival with its own heated tent to make it more comfortable, providing the cooking staff with the necessary space in the kitchen to meet all the demands.
