This weekend in Trabia, the town that has documentation of being the first place to have made pasta (more than a century before Marco Polo returned from China), citizens celebrated the 26th Edition of Trabia in Sagra. Experience Sicily’s Evelina Buttitta was there today with her family to enjoy this Sicilian cart on exhibition as well as tastings of pasta, olive oil, and the loquat fruit, folk music and dance groups, and the marionette theater.
