Fiera del Marrone festival in Cuneo

Overview

The Fiera del Marrone, a national chestnut fair in Cuneo, has expanded its programming to include both historical honors and agricultural showcases. The event features the 26th National Assembly of the ‘Uomini di Mondo’ association, which recognizes historical figures such as Publio Elvio Pertinace, a Cuneo native being honored 1,900 years after his birth for his high-ranking role in the Roman Empire.

In addition to cultural ceremonies, the fair emphasizes regional gastronomy through organized tasting events. These sessions, organized by Coldiretti Cuneo, highlight local products including Alta Langa sparkling wines, Roero Arneis, Castelmagno cheese, and chestnut-based specialties such as chestnut-flavored beer. The 27th edition of the fair, which traces its origins to 1934, utilizes locations including Via Roma, Piazza Galimberti, and Piazza Virginio to showcase the Cuneo chestnut in fresh and processed forms.

Following the event, local authorities, including Vice Mayor Luca Serale and Councilor Sara Tomatis, met with representatives from Confcommercio, FIVA, and local merchants to review logistical challenges. Officials noted that 2026 served as an experimental year, specifically regarding the relocation of the traditional Tuesday market to Corso Nizza and the implementation of extraordinary weekend markets. Administrators stated they are collecting feedback from business operators to address difficulties caused by high visitor influxes and to improve organization for future editions.
