Other Events Every year in Serrenti, on a date that varies between late April and early May, the
Sagra dell’Asparago e de su Pistocheddu de capa takes place. This festival is dedicated to asparagus as well as to local agri-food and artisanal products. The event highlights asparagus, one of the municipality’s most significant agricultural products, which is widely used in local cuisine, from first courses to desserts. Asparagus has been consumed in
Sardinia since ancient times and has found particularly favorable soil and climatic conditions in the Medio Campidano area. Among the dishes traditionally prepared with asparagus are eggs stuffed with asparagus cream; asparagus wrapped in pancetta, baked with breadcrumbs and Parmigiano Reggiano; and, as a dessert, asparagus cake. The festival also promotes another typical product of Serrenti:
Pistoccheddu de capa, small, hard, and crunchy biscuits with a golden color, covered in white icing and decorated with gold or silver accents. Skilled Sardinian women traditionally shape these biscuits into forms representing domestic animals, such as little sheep, ducks, rabbits, or birds. == Economy ==
