Sagra delle Castagne (Chestnut Festival)

The Sagra delle Castagne in Rocca di Papa is an unmissable event for those who want to experience autumn in the Castelli Romani with all their senses. This event, rooted in rural traditions, transforms the historic center of the village into a stage where chestnuts take center stage, telling stories of the land, community, and authentic flavors. From steaming roasted chestnuts to sophisticated sweets, each taste is a journey through local gastronomic heritage.

Excursions through chestnut groves allow you to discover the life cycle of these extraordinary fruits, while craft exhibitions and live music create a festive and welcoming atmosphere. It's the perfect occasion for families and tradition enthusiasts to reconnect with the territory. Rocca di Papa, with its intact village charm, becomes during these three days a place of conviviality where the chestnut symbolizes the deep bond between people and land. An authentic experience celebrating the cultural and gastronomic heritage of genuine Lazio, where rural past dialogues with the contemporary desire to discover lost roots and traditions.
