Villar Focchiardo (Turin) welcomes back the Sagra Valsusina del Marrone, regarded as Italy's oldest festival dedicated to sweet chestnuts. Dating back to the post-WWII era, the event highlights the village's enduring heritage rooted in the surrounding chestnut groves, organized by the local Pro Loco alongside the municipality and community groups. Throughout the festival weekend, visitors can enjoy food stalls, exhibitions, market stalls, open shops, children's games, and live music entertainment. The highlight of the fair is the traditional 'brusatà', the distribution of freshly roasted chestnuts prepared on the spot by the local 'brusatairo' roasters.
