Cuneo hosts the 27th National Chestnut Fair

The 27th National Chestnut Fair (Fiera del Marrone) has commenced in Cuneo, running through Sunday. The event traces its origins back to 1934 and serves to highlight the agricultural heritage and chestnut cultivation of the local valleys.

Exhibitors and producers are gathered across Via Roma, Piazza Galimberti, and Piazza Virginio, offering a variety of gastronomic specialties and artisanal crafts. The Cuneo chestnut is the central feature, presented both fresh and in various processed forms, including sweets and street food.

The program includes culinary demonstrations, tastings, and pairings, such as chestnut-flavored beer and baked goods. Beyond food, the fair offers educational activities for families, environmental initiatives, exhibitions, and visits to local valleys.
