Sagra della castagna e del fungo

When autumn paints the Piedmont forests with chestnut trees and porcini mushrooms emerge from the undergrowth, Rossana prepares to celebrate its most precious gastronomic treasures. The Sagra della castagna e del fungo, held from October 3-5, 2026 in Piazza Gazelli, is far more than a simple food festival: it is a tribute to the historical and cultural roots of this charming mountain village in Piedmont, where the chestnut tree has represented a vital resource for the local economy for centuries and continues to symbolize the identity of the territory. Three days of celebration transform the town center into a grand stage where tradition and entertainment intertwine perfectly. Beyond the renowned mycological exhibitions and displays dedicated to local chestnut varieties, you can be enchanted by folkloric performances, popular dance exhibitions, DJ sets, and interactive workshops for the whole family. There are also gatherings of vintage Vespa scooters, motorcycles and cars, plus painting and photography exhibitions that showcase the creative vitality of the community. But the true heart of the festival beats in the numerous food stands and stalls of typical products scattered throughout the square, where you can discover the most savory dishes made with porcini mushrooms and Bracalla chestnuts. An unmissable opportunity to taste the authentic flavors of the Piedmont mountains and take home the gastronomic treasures of Rossana.
