Cuneo officials and merchants discuss Chestnut Fair logistics

Local authorities in Cuneo, including Vice Mayor Luca Serale and Councilor Sara Tomatis, met with representatives from Confcommercio, FIVA, and local merchants to review the organization of the National Chestnut Fair (Fiera del Marrone).

The meeting focused on logistical challenges caused by the relocation of the traditional Tuesday market to Corso Nizza and the implementation of extraordinary markets on Saturday and Sunday. Officials described 2026 as an experimental year, noting that significant logistical changes were implemented due to factors beyond the administration's control.

Administrators stated they have collected feedback from business operators to improve organization for next year's edition. The goal is to address the difficulties faced by local businesses caused by the high influx of visitors during the city's most significant annual event.
