The Sagra della Castagna Primitiva is a dedicated celebration organized by the Pro Loco of Marzano Appio to showcase the unique early-ripening chestnut variety native to the Roccamonfina volcanic area. Renowned as one of the very first to harvest each autumn, this special chestnut is a cornerstone of agricultural and culinary heritage in Alto Casertano. Set in the heart of the historic village, the festival features bustling food stalls offering an appetizing menu of roasted chestnuts, chestnut- and mushroom-based dishes, traditional sweets, and local delicacies paired with regional wines. The experience is enhanced by artisan craft markets and vibrant live music.
