This gastronomic display has a more than 50 years old tradition. The territory of Norcia is incomparably rich in local and delicious products, but the fame the black truffle could attain makes it the real king of the event.
But the salami and cold pork meats certainly play also an important role as well as every product of the pork butchery. Another protagonist of the exhibition market is indeed the ham Prosciutto di Norcia, marked with the IGP (Indicazione Geografica Protetta) and the result of the antique Norcian craftsmen's experience in manufacturing and conservation of the salami and cold pork meats.
But at Norcia the surprises don't ever finish if we continue the gastronomic parade with the famous lentils Lenticchie di Castelluccio, the excellent cheeses, the spelt, the mushrooms and all other kinds of products offered by the Valnerina and brought out and made appreciated by the town of Norcia.

March: The Benedicine Celebrations - The anniversary of the death of San Benedetto da Norcia (21^st March) is celebrated in the town with historical commemorations and processions.
December-March: Sibillini Eskimo - A considerable number of sports and excursion events organized by the surviving school ''Sibillini Adventure'' constitutes the winter activities from December to March.
Alpine and excursion guides place their experience at the tourists' disposal in order to allow easy excursions and visits on the charming snow-covered mountains of the Parco Nazionale dei Sibillini.
June: The Literary Prize San Benedetto - It is a literary prize dedicated to the figure of San Benedetto, for which compete writers with works on freely chosen subjects and on those with a social background. During the prize-giving extracts of the finalist works are read out.
June: The ''Fiorita'' - Spring at Castelluccio di Norcia gives life to all the colours of the rainbow on the Great Plain, when the flower carpets are blooming in the so called ''fiorita'', presenting to the eyes a sensational view. All the flowers on the plain open and each one takes part - like a little stone in a valuable mosaic - in the creation of the charming, coloured carpet under the open sky.
July: Trekking at Castelluccio - For three days the plateau of Castelluccio di Norcia is the meeting place for the enthusiasts of trekking by foot or on mules or donkeys along the ways of the Parco Nazionale dei Monti Sibillini and of the Valnerina.
July-September: Musik'Estate - At Norcia, too, takes place the considerable program of the famous classical music festival which involves many communes in the province of Perugia and Terni.
December: The ''Fauni'' - This is a traditional event which has its roots in the pagan world and the folklore. On the squares of Norcia they light big and charming bonfires (the ''Fauni'', which means fauns) as propitiatory rite and to drive away the fears associated with the beginning of the winter season.
