A sagra is a traditional Italian village festival celebrating a specific local food or ingredient. The Sagra della Salvia honors sage, an herb long valued for its culinary, medicinal, and symbolic meaning in Tuscany.

During the festival, the village gathers for shared meals, music, and seasonal dishes featuring sage in soups, breads, oils, and fried leaves. In The Taste of Memory, the Sagra della Salvia becomes a turning point, a place where memory rises, forgiveness simmers, and community gathers around the table.
