From April 24th to May 3rd, 2026 the historic center of Ascoli Piceno traditionnally hosts the Italian Mixed Fried Food Festival (Fritto Misto all’italiana), one of the most important events dedicated to fried food, at its 22nd edition.
The Italian Mixed Fry is one of the great traditions of Italian cuisine, with each region having its own characteristics and flavors: a true journey into the world of frying, its tastes, colors, batters, and coatings.
The program features plenty of delicious frying that mixes the traditions of Italian cuisine: Ascolana olives, arancini, cartocci, Emilian fried gnocco, Apulian panzerotti, Sicilian cannoli, Roman-style codfish, fried cheese… all accompanied by craft beers and excellent wines.
A “gluten-free” stand allows celiacs to enjoy the delicacies of mixed frying. The stand is set up in collaboration with AIC. the Italian Celiac Association of the Marche region.
Fritto Misto also has a “green” vocation: it uses all recyclable material and has eliminated plastic bottles, thanks to which the event can boast the zero plastic logo.
