Tuscany/Umbria - Sagre in Late Sept.?

Any recommendations for sagre in Tuscany or Umbria from Sept. 23-27? I'd love to attend a sagra while we're there, but haven't located any good English-language references online.

    Try http://www.sagreinitalia.it/ . I know this is late but it's a good resource. And yes, it is in Italian but if you understand "food" Italian you can figure out a lot.

      Very soory for mismatch of dates. In Montefalco from Sep 17 to Sep 20, there is Sagrantino Wine Festival. Look at the website www.montefalcodoc.it
      Maybe a smart tip for other travelers.

        The most complete listing of sagre in Tuscany that I know is in Italian only (the English version does not list the sagre):
        http://www.saimicadove.it/tempolibero...

        There are pictures of the foods being celebrated, or you can use Google translate.

        There are already a number of sagre listed for your time period, but many are only posted a week or two in advance.
