The name of the festival refers to a typical preparation of the local cuisine made with eggs, flour, cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, pepper and mint; a simple and authentic recipe for Pittula that is cooked in broth. Among the stands of the festival, it is also possible to enjoy other local dishes accompanied by notes of popular Salentine music.
The event, that takes place in the historic center of the town, is organized by the Pro Loco of Patù in collaboration with the local Avis, involving almost all households in the city.
