Le Strade del Gusto e dell’Inclusione 2026 — 3rd Stage (Viale Battaglione degli Alpini)

From Friday 25 to Sunday 27 September 2026, from 17:00 to 22:00, Le Strade del Gusto e dell’Inclusione arrives in Gaeta for the third and final stage of the year: sixteen stands featuring typical local products, live music, and art along Viale Battaglione degli Alpini, between Piazza della Libertà and Piazza XIX Maggio. It is the easiest way to experience Strade del Gusto in Gaeta: stroll, taste, and listen.

Note on the location: initial announcements listed Via Buonomo as the venue for this third stage. The official program brings it to Viale Battaglione degli Alpini, the tree-lined avenue next to Lungomare Caboto.

The project: food and wine as a tool for inclusion

Le Strade del Gusto e dell’Inclusione brings together local flavors and the work of the people behind them: the food and wine journey is designed as an experience of personal growth and independence for the young people involved, offering a tangible opportunity for social and workplace inclusion. The project is promoted by Regione Lazio, ARSIAL, Istituti Riuniti del Lazio, and LAZIOcrea; the poster also features the Città di Gaeta and the Parrocchia dei Santi Cosma e Damiano.
