When autumn knocks on the door, Trezzano Rosa transforms into a small paradise for lovers of authentic flavours. The Sagra della Caldarrosta, a fixture on the Lombard festival calendar, celebrates the undisputed star of the season: the chestnut. Roasted over open flames according to the most authentic tradition, roasted chestnuts are served steaming hot, wrapped in paper, offering visitors that sensory experience that only the aroma of burning wood can provide. But the festival is not just about chestnuts. Numerous market stalls showcase the true flavours of Brianza: mulled wine for the cooler evenings, traditional sweets that tell family stories, rustic soups prepared according to recipes passed down through generations, plus cheeses, cured meats, and mushroom-based dishes that showcase the best of local cuisine. Every bite is a journey through time, a return to origins. The convivial atmosphere is enhanced by artisan markets where you can discover local creations, dedicated spaces for children to enjoy the celebration, and evening entertainment with live music and entertainment. A perfect weekend for those seeking the authenticity of Lombard popular festivals, away from fleeting trends, rediscovering the beauty of simplicity.
