TOUR
 Garfagnana


Italy, especially the chestnut festivals held in autumn. One of the best that I have been to in the Garfagnana is in Cascio. This tiny town of only a handful of people manages to gather hundreds of people for its annual Festa di Castagna.

The entrance to the town is through one of the old portals.

The lovely piazza was lined with stalls selling local produce.

The first thing to do is buy a ticket for your food, then head off in search of the queue. Courses are served in different places around the village.

It was a bit of a walk through the forest to the metato (chestnut drying house) where the chestnut liqueur was served.

In this area people could gather their own chestnut and cook them. Children were taught how by parents and grandparents.

Cascio’s festival is very well organised. It is a fun day with lots to keep visitors entertained. There was a bit of a wait for the food, but most people are good natured and wait patiently. (Except for one woman who was determined to push in…it didn’t work with us)
