Sagra della Schiacciata all'Olio

The Sagra della Schiacciata all'Olio returns to Lucolena in the heart of Florentine Chianti for its 11th edition. A weekend celebrating Tuscan tradition awaits on June 13-14, 2026, where the star of the show will be schiacciata all'olio: the quintessential Tuscan bread, crispy on the outside and soft inside, prepared fresh at the gastronomic stands. Schiacciata all'olio is a masterpiece of Tuscan culinary tradition, with roots stretching back to the Middle Ages when it was baked in the communal ovens of local villages. Characterized by the use of DOP extra virgin olive oil and just a few genuine ingredients, this focaccia represents the essence of Tuscan simplicity and quality. Today as then, each schiacciata tells a story of the land, artisanal expertise, and a love for authentic food. A perfect opportunity to savor the genuine flavors of local cuisine in a festive, convivial summer atmosphere. The festival offers family entertainment with performances and games for children, live music throughout the day, an enticing SvuotaCantine artisan market, and a fun foosball tournament. The gastronomic stands will be open from 11 am to 9 pm, offering both traditional schiacciata and filled versions. The event is the fruit of collaboration between the Pro Loco di Lucolena, the Municipality of Greve in Chianti, and numerous local volunteers who work to transform this weekend into an authentic celebration of community values and Tuscan gastronomy. An unmissable event for anyone wanting to discover the true face of the Florentine countryside.
