Why it’s worth a trip
The festival’s rule is simple: everything served is gluten-free, so for once you don’t have to ask at every stall. AIC, the Italian coeliac association, is listed among the partners on the official site. For packaged products you take home, the usual rule applies: read the label.
Tips for your visit
- Weekends are busiest: if you can, go on the Friday or at opening time.
- If you have other intolerances besides gluten, ask at the stall: the festival is built around gluten-free, not every allergen.
- Staying in town? The HTGF Atlas shows gluten-free places nearby, and our Italian coeliac card helps outside the festival.
