THE MACCHERONE FESTIVAL

This festival takes place in my village, Buti, in the two last weeks of July. This festival is situated in the medieval castle of Buti. During this festival you can have dinner there and try some typical products. The highlight of the festival is "maccheroni", a typical type of pasta with meat sauce. After dinner there are a lot of people that drink a lot and sing all the time. Until midnight there are special guests like DJs, singers and dancers. This festival is organized to raise money for the village and in January they use this money for the most important event of the year, a horse race called "PALIO".
