Lungo le Antiche Rue

In the enchanting setting of Valle Roveto, amid the warm hues of Abruzzo's autumn, Civitella Roveto transforms into an open-air museum where tradition is not merely told, but living and tangible. ‹Lungo le Antiche Rue› is an immersive experience celebrating the chestnut, the undisputed star of the local forests, presented in countless variations: roasted over fire, boiled with care, transformed into irresistible sweets, or paired with new wine still fragrant with harvest. Strolling through the cobblestone alleys of this medieval village, visitors discover authentic glimpses of rural life, historic shops open to the public, and wine cellars where expert sommeliers guide unforgettable tastings. Yet this event is far more than a simple food festival. Civitella Roveto invites you on a genuine journey through time, where craftspeople in period dress demonstrate now-rare trades, while photography exhibitions and historical reenactments restore dignity and memory to local communities. Abruzzese folk music accompanies every corner, creating an atmosphere suspended between past and present, where each aroma, sound, and flavor is a word in an ancient tale still being written. For those seeking an authentic experience, far from mass tourism, ‹Lungo le Antiche Rue› represents the perfect opportunity to understand the soul of Valle Roveto: a territory that has never ceased speaking proudly of its roots, transforming chestnuts and tradition into a bridge between generations.
