The Caprese Michelangelo Chestnut Festival<\/strong> is one of the most authentic and heartfelt events in the Tiber Valley<\/a>.<\/strong> It takes place on the last two weekends of October<\/strong> in a mountain village where, for centuries, the chestnut tree was a vital resource for the community.
Here, in fact, the chestnut is not just a product. It’s history, memory and identity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Marrone di Caprese Michelangelo<\/strong> is a PDO chestnut<\/strong> (Protected Designation of Origin), famous throughout Tuscany for its sweetness and quality. For generations, it was the basis of the local diet.
In a land of mountains, woods and soils that are hard to farm, chestnuts fed farming families through the winter. That’s why people called them “the bread of Caprese<\/strong>“.<\/p>

Chestnut flour was used to prepare simple, nourishing dishes such as:<\/p>

\u2013 sweet chestnut polenta<\/strong>
\u2013 castagnaccio<\/strong>, a traditional cake made with chestnut flour, rosemary and pine nuts
\u2013 caldarroste<\/strong>, chestnuts roasted over an open fire<\/p>

These were often served with country dishes, like pan-fried pork<\/strong>, or with local cheeses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Drying huts, water mills and farming memory<\/h2>

The smaller chestnuts were dried in seccatoi<\/strong>, small stone huts with slab roofs. Inside, a slow fire allowed the chestnuts to dry naturally.
Once dry, they were ground in water mills<\/strong>. Caprese Michelangelo once had more than ten, which shows how important this crop was for the village.<\/p>

Even today, this ancient knowledge is part of the landscape. Walking through the chestnut groves, for instance, you’ll come across restored drying huts, well-kept woods and centuries-old chestnut trees.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A festival of food, culture and community<\/h2>

During the Caprese Michelangelo Chestnut Festival<\/strong>, the village comes alive with:<\/p>

\u2013 food stalls<\/strong> serving chestnut dishes
\u2013 local produce<\/strong> stands with honey, cheeses and farm-brewed beers
\u2013 workshops for children<\/strong>
\u2013 re-enactments of traditional crafts<\/strong>
\u2013 folk songs and dances<\/strong> by the Caprese Michelangelo folk group<\/p>

Above all, the festival is a meeting point between locals and visitors. Here, tradition is lived, not staged.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Autumn in Caprese Michelangelo, between nature and tradition<\/h2>

The festival falls in one of the most beautiful times of the year. In autumn, the woods turn into a mosaic of colours. As a result, Caprese Michelangelo becomes an ideal destination for slow travel<\/strong>, trekking<\/strong><\/a> and time in nature.<\/p>

Meanwhile, small producers continue to look after the chestnut groves. Their care keeps the land alive, accessible and truly authentic.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Staying in the countryside lets you tune into a valley where nature, seasons and silence shape everyday life. Here the landscape is not just a backdrop; on the contrary, it changes with the light and the time of day.<\/p>

At Le Ceregne Bio<\/strong>, our organic farm stay in Tuscany<\/strong>, you can alternate walks in nature and quiet moments with cultural visits.
