On Sunday, October 11 and Sunday, October 18, the traditional Sagra della Castagna (Chestnut Festival) returns to Premilcuore.
A celebration dedicated to chestnuts, their harvest and the many traditional products made from this symbol of the autumn season.
Roasted, baked into castagnaccio or simply boiled, chestnuts can be enjoyed with excellent Sangiovese wine, surrounded by the colourful autumn landscape of the surrounding mountains.
The festival winds through the streets of the village, offering a wide selection of traditional local specialities, including cappelletti, polenta, tortelli alla lastra, fried piadina and grilled meats.
On Sunday, October 11, the festival will also feature the Sagra del Raviggiolo, celebrating Raviggiolo, a traditional cheese from the Tuscan-Romagna Apennines and a prestigious Slow Food Presidia product. The day will also include entertainment, inflatable games for children and demonstrations of traditional crafts.
On Sunday, October 18, the programme will feature the traditional pig slaughtering ceremony (masè è porc), a historic local tradition involving the processing of pork into sausages, steaks, chops, ciccioli and coppa di testa (musotto).
The entertainment programme is equally rich, with performances by the Carrettieri band featuring the traditional sciucarén, Romagna folk dancers and guided walks to the chestnut grove, where visitors can discover the local chestnut-harvesting tradition accompanied by local guides.
