Dugenta is a rural village in the Sannio region that welcomes visitors with simplicity and warmth. Surrounded by hills planted with vines and olive trees, it still follows the rhythms of country life, where each season has its rituals and every meal tells a story. Best known for the Wild Boar Festival, Dugenta comes alive each summer with music, the scent of grilled meat, and traditional dishes served under the stars. Falanghina and Aglianico grapes thrive in the vineyards that shape the landscape, and local wineries offer genuine tastings among barrels and smiles. The village, small and peaceful, invites you to wander its stone alleys and modest churches, while the surrounding countryside offers quiet trails and nature escapes. Dugenta is ideal for those seeking the true spirit of Sannio—social, rooted in the land, rich in memory. Every gesture here feels sincere, every meeting carries the warmth of hospitality. And it's easy to feel part of something, even just for a day.


Curiosities

  • The Wild Boar Festival is epic! Held every year for several weeks with food, music, and shows—it feels like a medieval fair!

  • A village that “speaks wine”: Dugenta is surrounded by Aglianico and Falanghina vineyards, a source of regional pride.

  • Cooking like the old days: many families still pass down traditional recipes like “p’zzella” and peasant soup.

  • A very Roman bridge: an ancient bridge over the Volturno river, linked to Roman consular roads.

  • The name Dugenta? Maybe... two hundred! Legend says it comes from an old village of “ducenti” (two hundred) inhabitants. True or not—it’s fun to think about!
