The Festa di Castagnatura returns to Raggiolo, a charming hamlet in the municipality of Ortignano Raggiolo nestled in the Casentino Pratomagno, celebrating the harvest and processing of chestnuts—a staple that historically formed the foundation of the local diet. The food festivities kick off on Saturday with a traditional dinner gathered around a glowing log fire, complete with live music and spiced mulled wine. The celebration continues on Sunday with a lunch highlighting regional chestnut dishes, followed from 2:30 PM by tastings of traditional sweet treats such as roasted chestnuts ('bricie'), chestnut cake ('baldino' or castagnaccio), pan co' santi, and mulled wine. Throughout Sunday, the village streets will also host a vibrant craft market.
