Sagra della Paparina (en)


Held in concomitance with the festival in honor of Saint Vincent is the ’Sagra della Paparina' in Miggiano. The paparina, also called as papaverine, is the poppy plant cultivated from the months of November to February when it is still young and the poppies are still blooming. During the festival, the paparina is prepared by cooking it in a pan with extra virgin olive oil and garlic, in the so-called "paparina 'nfucata".   The event celebrates the tradition of eating wild plants in the prospect of recovering of the tradition.
