Hala says

The Lunghi family has been roasting whole pigs over wood with wild fennel and garlic in Costano, a frazione of Bastia Umbra fifteen minutes from Assisi, for three generations. Umbrian porchetta is born here: eat it from the market van, in a roll, standing up.

Costano is a frazione of Bastia Umbra, fifteen minutes from Assisi, and the Lunghi porchetta van is the Umbrian street-food anchor. They show up at markets across Umbria (Spello, Foligno, Perugia, Assisi) most mornings; check the Facebook page for the day's location. Order a porchetta panino, get extra wild fennel, eat it on the curb with a plastic cup of red wine. The skin is the whole thing. Cash. They sell out by 2 p.m.
