Autumn Festival and Forest Flavours: The Marrone Buono of Marradi

Sundays in October transform the charming village of Marradi into the undisputed kingdom of mountain chestnuts and the signature flavours of the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines. The streets of the historic centre fill with irresistible aromas, celebrating the renowned Marrone Buono PGI with recipes from local tradition.

Among craft stalls and food stands, visitors can taste steaming bruciate (the area’s distinctive roast chestnuts), sweet tortelli, castagnacci and delicious preserves. The festive atmosphere is enriched by roaming performances and the magic of the famous vintage steam train, which climbs through woods ablaze with autumn colour to carry travellers and hikers straight into the heart of the event.
