The hamlet of Agnino, in the municipality of Fivizzano, welcomes back the traditional Sagra della Pattona for its 48th edition. Established in 1975, this festival celebrates the culinary culture and traditional recipes of Lunigiana, offering visitors a wonderful opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the Tuscan mountains through authentic local flavours. The star of the show is the pattona, a traditional speciality made from PDO chestnut flour dough, wrapped between chestnut leaves, and baked in a wood-fired oven. The food stalls also feature a wide selection of authentic Lunigiana dishes: testaroli, polenta, and tagliatelle served with wild boar, venison, mushroom, or pesto sauces, alongside mixed grills, game stews, charcuterie and cheese platters, sgabei, and cian. The festival evenings are rounded off with after-dinner musical entertainment and live dancing.
