On Sunday, October 25, 2026, Campiglia d'Orcia, a charming hamlet of Castiglione d'Orcia, hosts the 47th edition of the Festa del Marrone. A beloved autumn tradition held every final Sunday of October since 1978, this festival celebrates one of the territory's hallmark treasures, nestled between the scenic Val d'Orcia in the Siena province and the slopes of Monte Amiata. Taking center stage are the village's three historic districts ('rioni') — Agitati, Borgassero, and Dentro — which decorate the streets with creative themed displays and prepare special menus showcasing traditional local recipes. Organized by the Campiglia d'Orcia Pro Loco, the festivities culminate in an awards ceremony honoring the winning district, chosen jointly by a panel of judges and votes from festival attendees.
