From April 11th to 13th 2025, it is taking place in Ladispoli, a city in the province of Rome, the “Romanesco Artichoke Festival” reaching this year its 72nd edition.
At the Romanesco Artichoke Festival, the city sets up food stands along the main streets, shows cooking, and offers tastings, while local restaurants offer typical menus with artichoke-based dishes.
The event ends with a firework display on Sunday night.
The historical background of the Romanesco artichoke draws back from the Etruscan people during the 4th century BC.
For centuries, this traditional Roma artichoke was consumed by peasant families. However, after the Second World War, it spread, and inhabitants started to cultivate it, mainly in the areas of Ladispoli, Castellammare, and Campagnano.
