The Chestnut Festival of Cassinelle, located in the province of Alessandria, returns for its traditional autumn gathering hosted by the Confraternita San Giovanni Battista. This historic event has brought the village to life for over thirty years, held in conjunction with the patronal celebrations in honour of San Defendente. During the festival, chestnuts are roasted using traditional pans at the Oratory of San Giovanni Battista. Festivities then move to Piazza San Defendente, where freshly roasted chestnuts are handed out alongside the vibrant local village fair.
